It depends on what the suit is about and who it is against (governmental entity or not). Generally, a negligence suit is 4 years; professional liability is 2 years, breach of written contract is 5 years, breach or oral contract is 4 years. A lawyer would need the facts of your case to give you any answer that is meaningful.
