the statute differs depending on what the lawsuit is for. here is a quick synopsis but I advise contacting a lawyer about your specific case Professional Malpractice: Professional negligence actions, including medical malpractice lawsuits, must be filed within 2 years. Personal Injury: 2 years. Fraud: 2 years. Libel / Slander / Defamation: 1 year. Injury to Personal Property: 2 years. Product Liability: 2 years. Contracts: Written and under seal, 20 years. Otherwise, 4 years.
