Yes, in most cases its 4 years from the date of the breach of the contract.

It depends on what you're being sued for. In PA if it's a breach of contract generally it's 4 years. If it's an injury claim it's generally 2 years. But an attorney would need to review the law suit papers to see the allegations against you & determine if the SOL has passed. You should contact a local attorney experienced in civil litigation for a consultation. Good luck!
