The maximum time generally is 2 to 4 years after the incident. There may be exceptions that can apply to certain situations depending on the facts of a specific case. You should have your case evaluated by an attorney before deciding whether the time has expired or not.
Generally speaking it is two years from the date of the negligence. It is recommended that you consult with an attorney to discuss the facts and cicumstances of your case.

Generally, it is two years from the date that the neglignece occurred but in no event more than 4 years from the actual act. However, there are exceptions to the rule. You need to consult an attorney in person to discuss details.
