Elderly woman gets ripped off by auto repair
My aging Mother got taken for several thousand dollars on her 20 year old car. The repair was done 3/10/04. Am I running out of time to file suit against the repair shop?
I am looking for someone to help me with this.

Re: Elderly woman gets ripped off by auto repair
Breach of written contract claims have a 4 year statute of limitations. Breach or verbal contracts are 2 years. Fraud is generally 3 years. Some negligence claims are only 1 year. I don't have enough facts to determine exactly what causes of action you have. However, if the charges were fabricated, your mother may have a fraud claim. Also, an elder abuse claim should be looked into (this carries heavy penalties). I wouldn't delay because witnesses are lost and memories fade. Also, you may lose a cause of action with a 1 year statute of limitations. Call us if you need help.

I can help you get it done. You will have to pay me for my time. Likely $1000-1500 in attorney time to prepare your filings correctly.
