How long do you have to answer to a lawsuit?

Answer 1

This varies state-to-state. The time in which you have to answer should be listed on the complaint. If not, simply telephone an attorney or a law library for the applicable time frame in which you have to answer. (In WA, you have 20 days).

Answer 2

This depends on many factors. Foremost among those factors is where you live. Each state (and country) has different laws concerning statutes of limitation. Further, these statutes provide different time periods and different rules for each kind of action. Fraud cases generally have different limitations periods than those for breaches of written contract or negligence actions. The best thing to do is to consult a local attorney to make sure that you are not losing your right to sue by waiting too long.
