Statutes of limitation for Partnership Breach of Contract
What is the statute of limitations for administrative partners breaching a contract with me to deliver care to patients? One attorney told me the statute of limitations was one year but I thought breach of contract had a 4 year statute. Is there a different statute for Labor and Employment cases from the ''regular'' breach of contract statute?

Re: Statutes of limitation for Partnership Breach of Contract
As a general rule, the statute of limitations for breach of a verbal contract is 2 years, a fraudulent breach is 3 years and breach of a written contract is 4 years. These statutes apply to employment contracts.

Written contracts/four years. Verbal contracts/two years. Fraud is three years from date learn of fraud.
