In most civil matters the statue of limitiations expires at one year. That is, after a year, your ability to sue in most situations is lost.

In many criminal matters, the statues of limitations will last many years, and in some cases never expire.

Yes, in most cases, you can still take someone to court even if it has been a year since the incident occurred. However, there are limitations on the time frame within which you can file a lawsuit, known as the statute of limitations. This time frame varies depending on the type of case and the jurisdiction, so it is best to consult with a lawyer to determine if you are still within the allowable timeframe to take legal action.
