Survivors of sexual abuse in Maryland have new legal options in 2025. Learn about the updated laws, your rights, and how to file a claim for justice and compensation.
A New Chapter for Survivors in Maryland
In 2025, Maryland’s legal landscape for sexual abuse cases has transformed. Survivors now have greater access to justice, even for cases that were once considered “too old” to pursue. This change comes as lawmakers recognize the lifelong impact of abuse and the need for accountability, no matter how much time has passed.
A Survivor’s Story – “I Thought It Was Too Late”
Case Example (Anna)
After decades of silence, Anna finally stepped forward in 2025 to hold her abuser accountable. Under the old rules, her case would have been barred by the statute of limitations. But thanks to new reforms, Anna filed a lawsuit against the institution that failed to protect her. She now hopes her voice will inspire others to take the same step.
What Changed in Maryland Law?
- Statute of Limitations Removed for Civil Cases – Survivors can now file regardless of when the abuse occurred.
- Expanded Liability for Institutions – Schools, churches, youth organizations, and other entities can be held accountable for covering up abuse.
- Increased Damages – Compensation limits have been raised, reflecting the severity of harm endured.
