Re: Statue of Limitation
The answer to the question is yes, someone can sue you after the statute of limitations has expired. However, the person sued would have a defense of "limitations" that they could plead in their "answer" filed in response to the lawsuit. The defendant could then file a Motion for Summary Judgment and could likely get the case dismissed due to the expired statute of limitations.
