Seeking Justice for Sexual Misconduct
Understanding the California Lookback Window
California’s lookback window is a crucial legal provision that temporarily lifts the statute of limitations on sexual abuse cases, allowing some survivors to file lawsuits, even when the conduct took place long ago. This window allows individuals affected by Dr. Brock’s alleged misconduct, even some who encountered him years ago, to seek justice and compensation. If you believe you may have a claim, now is the time to contact our firm to understand your rights and options.

McGrath Kavinoky LLP in the news...
The University of California (UC) system has agreed to a record $700 million in settlements related to sexual abuse allegations against Dr. James Heaps, a former UCLA gynecologist. This marks the largest payout ever for sexual abuse cases involving a public university. The settlements address claims from hundreds of women, including a $374.4 million agreement for 312 former patients [represented by McGrath Kavinoky LLP] and earlier settlements totaling $317 million.
Dr. Heaps, affiliated with UCLA from 1983 to 2018, faces allegations of sexual abuse disguised as medical procedures. Victims include cancer patients and others who claim Heaps conducted inappropriate examinations and made lewd comments. Lawsuits allege UCLA ignored decades of complaints, prioritizing Heaps' status as a top-earning physician over patient safety. Despite an internal investigation in 2017 uncovering misconduct, Heaps was allowed to continue practicing until 2018. UCLA has since reported him to the California Medical Board.
The settlement eclipses payouts from Michigan State and the University of Michigan... Survivors emphasize the need for accountability and justice for institutional failures that allowed abuse to persist.
