In civil cases, statutes of limitations usually range between one and ten years. Sometimes this time period is counted from the date of the event itself – as in the date of a personal injury.
Depending on the type of case or procedure, New York's statutes of limitations generally range from one (1) year to six (6) years. The point at which the clock starts ticking is typically the date of the incident or discovery of a wrong.
For example, if one state's statute of limitations for medical malpractice is 2 years, and you file a lawsuit 2 years and 1 day after an alleged incident has occurred, you are out of luck.
The general statute of limitations is three years. This applies to many claims, including trespass, fraud, wrongful death, actions on contracts, or claims against insurance. Other causes of action are limited to two years, such as libel, slander, and false imprisonment.

Exceptions to the New York statute of limitations exist in cases involving minors, insanity, undiscoverable injuries, and out-of-state defendants.
The time periods depend entirely on the nature of the case and the state laws where your case is heard. The limitations periods in federal court may differ from state court. Some claims can expire as quickly as a year after the event. Other claims can be filed decades later.
Many wrongful termination cases result in favorable outcomes for the employee, either through settlements or court verdicts. Successful cases can result in compensation for lost wages, damages for emotional distress, and even punitive damages in some instances.
Precise statistics showing the win rates on wrongful termination cases each year compared to the overall number of wrongful termination lawsuits are hard to come by. Nevertheless, estimates range from as low as 30% of wrongful termination cases being successful to as high as 90% of cases succeeding.
Filing a Lawsuit Moves the Case to Court The court complaint has to lay out all the factual evidence showing the firing was illegal. Your employment law attorney will handle drafting the lawsuit and navigate whether state or federal court is best. This process takes two to six months to complete.
