Usually such a suit is not possible after the SOL has expired.

However, exceptions are sometimes made depending upon the specific circumstances of the case in question.

All the contributing factors in the case would have to be reviewed by a qualified personal injury/wrongful death attorney to determine if the case qualifies as a special exception.

The American Bar Association website offers a free national referral service to obtain contact information for an attorney in the inquiring party's state.

Can a credit card company sue you after 6 years?

Yes, it can even if the applicable statute of limitations on the claim has expired. A court will not refuse to accept a complaint for action just because the statute of limitations has expired. Nothing in any court rule forbids a plaintiff from filing an action that is beyond the statute of limitations. In fact, court rules require that a defendant must make an affirmative statement in the answering pleading that the claim is barred by the statute of limitations or that defense will be waived and the action may proceed even though the statute of limitations has expired. Once the statute of limitations has been raised as an affirmative defense, the plaintiff is required to prove that the SOL should not bar its claim.

What you are asking about is a statute of limitations.

The length of the statute of limitations depends on the state and the type of claim they'd be filing against you.


Can i collect monies owed to my family since 1966?

Answer: Probably not. You can only sue if you have a promissory note (promise to pay in writing) and they have a short statute of limitations that has likely expired. Check your state statute of limitations. A mortgage would have a longer statute of limitations.

Can I prosecute a former employee for employee theft after they've already left the company?

Yes. If you have evidence they stole from you, you can still prosecute a former employee, as long as the statue of limitations has not expired. Stealing is a very serious crime, and thieves can still be brought to justice within a specific time frame.
