The basic statute of limitation is 2 years from the date of the incident. There are issues that make this answer simplistic, but it is a fair starting point for your analysis.

In Oregon, 2 years. In Washington, the statute of limitations for an intentional tort is 2 years.

The typical statute of limitations in Oregon is two years for filing an injury claim. Some cases, frequently cases involving intentional harm, have a one year statute of limitations. You should speak to an attorney as soon as possible to find out in which category your case falls.

In Georgia, it is two (2) years & under certain circumstances, the statute does/may not begin to run until the criminal matter is decided by the court. You need to consult with an attorney by phone or in person. Good luck.

I assume you want to sue the person for compensation. Each State has different Statute of Limitation, but generally, it is 2 years. There are a lot of other issues. You should discuss the case with a lawyer who handles these types of cases in the State where the incident happened.

If it is in NY state, it is likely one year from the date of the incident. That's if it is considered a purposeful assault, rather than a negligent assault, which is then 3 years. Other states may be different so make sure to check with an attorney in the state in which it happened. Or ask a personal injury lawyer in your state if you don't live in NY. Good luck.

Assuming you are referring to suing someone civilly for damages caused by an intentional act, like battery, then the statute of limitations is 4 years, which is the same statute of limitations that applies to negligence and personal injury cases.

The general statute of limitations for a personal injury that happened in Oregon is 2 years. BUT - statutes of limitation are notoriously slippery. There are books about them, because the individual details can matter a lot. Without knowing the details of your case, I cannot know that 2 years is correct for your situation. So don't count on it being 2 years! It probably is, but it may well not be. Deadlines can be as little as 180 days in some situations.
