Speaking out about sexual abuse is never easy. For many survivors, the impact of the abuse doesn’t stop when the incident ends—it can continue to affect their emotional health, physical safety, and personal relationships long after. Having a sexual abuse lawyer in Santa Ana by your side can make a critical difference.

How Our Santa Ana Legal Team Supports Survivors
Every survivor’s experience is unique. At Omega Law Group, we take the time to listen, understand, and build a legal strategy that aligns with your goals. Whether you are pursuing justice against an individual or an institution, we’re prepared to guide you at every step.
Our approach includes:
- Your privacy matters: We offer private consultations and, when needed, can file your case using a pseudonym to keep your identity protected throughout the legal process.
- Evidence doesn’t last forever: We act quickly to collect records that could be essential to your case, including medical files, communications, and witness accounts.
- Institutions may share the blame: When abuse happens within a school, workplace, or care facility, we investigate how those in charge may have failed to prevent it or properly report it.
- Justice includes financial support: Survivors often face costs tied to therapy, lost income, and emotional distress.
We are proud to serve our community as a trusted Santa Ana sexual abuse lawyer, and we are committed to using our experience to help you move forward with strength and clarity. Our legal team works directly with survivors and their families to provide ongoing support beyond the courtroom.
Who Can Be Held Liable in a Sexual Abuse Lawsuit?
Sexual abuse lawsuits often involve more than the perpetrator alone. In many cases, the institution where the abuse occurred played a role—either by failing to act, covering up complaints, or failing to put protections in place.
Potentially liable parties may include:
- Schools or universities that ignored reports of abuse or failed to supervise staff
- Religious organizations that protected known abusers
- Employers that failed to prevent harassment or misconduct in the workplace
- Group homes or juvenile facilities that neglected oversight and proper vetting
Identifying every responsible party is a critical part of building your case. These entities often have legal teams and insurance companies working to avoid responsibility, which makes having strong representation all the more important. We dig into timelines, policies, and institutional records to uncover the truth.
(310) 526-8383What Types of Compensation Are Available?
Survivors may be eligible for a range of financial damages in civil court. These are designed to reflect the full impact of the abuse—not just physical, but emotional and financial as well.
Compensation may include:
- Therapy and psychological treatment
- Medical costs related to injuries or long-term effects
- Lost income or job disruption due to the abuse
- Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
- Punitive damages in cases of willful or reckless misconduct
Our legal team works with trauma experts, financial analysts, and mental health professionals to ensure your case reflects the true scope of what you’ve endured. We also take time to explain how compensation is calculated and what factors may affect your specific case, so you know what to expect throughout the process.
Filing Deadlines in California for Sexual Abuse Cases
California provides strong legal protections for survivors, including extended deadlines in many cases. Under California Code of Civil Procedure § 340.16, adult survivors generally have 10 years from the date of the abuse or 3 years from the discovery of psychological injury caused by it, whichever is later.
For those who experienced abuse as minors, the window is even longer. For abuse occurring before January 1, 2024, survivors can typically file a claim until age 40, or 5 years after discovering the lasting effects of the abuse. There is no statute of limitations for childhood sexual abuse that occurred on or after January 1, 2024.
In addition, California currently has two revival windows. One is open until December 31, 2026, and another is open from January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2027. These windows will allow certain survivors whose claims were previously time-barred to file lawsuits. If you have questions about whether your claim still qualifies, we can help you get clarity.
