► Subject: Request for Free Initial Consultation - Adult Survivor of Childhood Abuse
Dear [OLQ law firm],
I am a 20 year old adult survivor of childhood abuse seeking to schedule a free initial consultation regarding a potential civil lawsuit.
The abuse occurred over an eight-year period, beginning when I was 10 years old. It notably ceased whenever guests or relatives visited, and paused temporarily around the time of my older brother's wedding; however, I still struggled to recover emotionally and mentally. The abuse involved severe physical violence, leaving permanent scars on my fingers and forehead, altering my facial features. It also involved forced injections and caused severe daily hair loss that made me feel as though I was going bald. My eyesight was also damaged—though I did not lose my vision entirely—after a phone flashlight was repeatedly shined into my eyes, causing intense pain, tearing, and a long-term loss of visual focus. Because of this, the appearance of my eyes changed. Additionally, I endured verbal degradation, head trauma, and chronic physical pain that significantly impacted my cognitive abilities. Furthermore, my identity documents were withheld. This prolonged trauma has caused severe financial hardship, as I was unable to pursue my education and missed out on numerous life opportunities.
I would like to inquire about the statute of limitations for such cases in this jurisdiction and whether your firm handles these types of cases on a contingency fee basis (no win, no fee).
Could you please confirm if you offer a 100% free initial consultation to review my case?
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Best regards,

Dear Client,
I understand your query. Based on your legal issue I shall give you my legal opinion. According to your case you can file a suit for damages or any kind of personal injury after attaining the age of majority i.e. 18 years old and a 3 years window is opened for extension and you can file a case until you reach 21 years old and therefore this is the Limitation period of your case under the Limitation Act,1963.
We do handle such kind of cases in our firm.
If you require detailed legal advice, discussion of your documents, or guidance regarding the further legal course of action, you may opt for a one-to-one consultation.
