What is the statute of limitations for a plaintiff who alleges she was sexually assaulted by her ex-partner?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Urick v. Boykin, B295773 (Cal. App. 2020):
Code of Civil Procedure, section 340.6 provides two alternative limitation periods: one year after actual or constructive discovery, or four years after the wrongful act or omission, whichever is first. (Samuels v. Mix (1999) 22 Cal.4th 1, 7; Britton v. Girardi (2015) 235 Cal.App.4th 721, 732.) In either case, the statute of limitations is tolled until the plaintiff has sustained actual injury. (Code Civ. Proc., 340.6, subd. (a)(1).)
