- Child AbuseTo file a valid claim against your abuser or the organization that perpetuated the abuse, you must first abide by the statute of limitations in your region. The statute of limitations limits the time a person has to file a suit against their abuser. If the statute of limitations is 5 years, for example, then the victim has 5 years from the date of the abuse to file a claim against the person or parties responsible. Once the statute has expired, the case is no longer valid. The statute of limitations varies by state, and it also includes a few caveats for certain circumstances, such as suppressed memories of abuse or child abuse.

- Wrongful DeathThe death of a family member is always tragic, but when the death is due to another person’s negligence or intentional misconduct, the emotional cost seems even greater. In these situations, however, the law provides the victim’s family with some recourse for their terrible loss. State law defines a "wrongful death" as one in which a party caused the death of someone due to negligent, reckless, intention, or even criminal conduct or acts.
