Yes, there is typically a statute of limitations for suing a builder. The specific time period can vary depending on the jurisdiction and the nature of the claim. It is best to consult with a lawyer to determine the applicable statute of limitations in your specific situation.
Marriage is forever. There is no statute of limitations on marriage. There may be a time limit on the validity of a marriage license before filing, but that is easily remedied.
Statute of limitations are set by the state or local government. There is also a difference between bringing criminal charges and suing for civil damages. Typically the criminal charges are longer then civil cases.
This would be a civil law suit. In Georgia the statute of limitations is 2 years. There may also be restrictions on bringing suit against public officials and entities. Consult an attorney in Georgia for specifics.
Yes, but it varies a good deal from state to state. Most states include "the discovery rule" in cases of medical malpractice which allows for the statute of limitations to start from the date the the injury or illness caused by medical malpractice is first discovered.
For most suits, the limitation is four years. For malpractice it is two years. Other items might toll it, such as not discovering the injury for a period of time.
4 years. See the residual limitations provision in the Texas Code. http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/SOTWDocs/CP/htm/CP.16.4952.4289.htm#4986.4319
Indefinitely!! However that "statute of limitations" is different per state. These limitations prevent an agency from suing you or reporting your debt to the credit bureaus if the age of the debt is too long. Here's the limitations per state: http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/statute-of-limitations-state-laws-chart-29941.html Experience: I own a collection agency.
The statute of limitations in North Carolina is three-years on securities fraud. There is a discovery rule applied to the law so that statue begins when the suing party finds evidence of wrongdoing.
The general rule is 4 years. http://www.realtimelaw.com/draft4.pdf
There is not a statute of limitations for information. There may be rules about how long records have to be maintained. It is usually based on how far back a lawsuit can go and whether there may be tax related information in them.
