{ "name": "Civil statute of limitations by state and type of claim", "description": "How long do you have to sue? Every state sets a different clock for each kind of civil claim, and missing it ends the claim outright \u2014 no defence, no appeal on the merits. The spread is wide and it moves: Florida cut its personal-injury period from four years to two in March 2023 (HB 837), Louisiana went the other way in July 2024, and a great many 'statute of limitations by state' tables still print the old figures. One record per state per type of claim \u2014 personal injury, medical malpractice, wrongful death, written contract, oral contract, property damage, fraud, defamation, debt \u2014 each quoted verbatim from that state's own legislature or revisor, never from a law-firm summary or a code mirror. The period is recorded in the statute's own words ('two years', 'six years'), not converted, because the conversion is where these tables go wrong. Answers 'statute of limitations for personal injury in Ohio', 'how long to sue for breach of contract by state', 'medical malpractice filing deadline', 'defamation statute of limitations'. Adjacent to state-construction-defect-limitations-periods, mechanics-lien-deadlines-by-state and whistleblower-filing-deadlines. This is a deadline lookup, not legal advice: tolling, discovery rules, minority, and claims against government bodies all change the answer, and the record says so where the statute does.", "url": "https://referencesource.org/state-civil-statute-of-limitations/", "licence": "Facts taken from US state statutes, each with a verbatim attributed quote and a link back to the publishing legislature or revisor.
