Yes. In the state of Arizona, abuse victims commonly have two years to file a civil lawsuit against the abuser. This is referred to as the Statute of Limitations.
In a civil lawsuit, a victim may demand economic and non-economic damages as compensation for the injuries that were sustained in the attack(s).
However, there can be instances where this deadline may be extended or shortened. For example, if a victim is under the age of 18 years old, the lawsuit must be filed within two years of that person’s 18th birthday.
