Can you sue for something that happened years ago?

No, you can't sue after the statute of limitations runs out. But there are situations where the statute of limitations begins late. For example, in a case of medical malpractice, the injury may have occurred weeks, months, or possibly years before the harm and cause of harm are discovered.

How long is the statute of limitations?

In criminal law, the limitations period refers to the time in which the government may charge a defendant with a criminal offense, either by indictment or criminal information. The applicable statute of limitations for most federal crimes is five years (18 U.S.C. ยง 3282).

How do you get around the statute of limitations?

In general, there's no way around the statute of limitations. You have to officially file the suit in the courts within two years of your accident, or unfortunately, there's very little that even the best personal injury lawyer can do for you.
