1 Answer from Attorneys
Generally, a plaintiff has five years from teh date of the incident to bring an action for a tort (i.e. neglicence, assault, etc.) Some torts have shorter periods of limitation. Some factors can extend or restart the clock on tort actions. You should probably consult directly with a civil practice attorney in your area. Many offer a free or low cost initial consultation.
Good luck
