about: Breach of written contract

claims: This is not legal advice or a personal deadline
has part: Breach of written contract filing deadlines by state (shortest first)

The civil statute of limitations for Breach of written contract ranges from 3 to 10 years across U.S. states
type: Claim
text: For Breach of written contract, the general civil statute of limitations is 3–10 years (median 6) across 51 states. A DERIVED min/max/median over each state's RECORDED statutory period (occurred=false, adjudged=false — an in-house cross-state summary; the per-state statutes + citations are in itemListElement, each verifiable at its statute URL). It is NOT a personal deadline: the discovery rule, tolling (minors/disability/defendant absence), repose limits, government-defendant notice rules, and the exact sub-claim can make a real deadline shorter or longer — and missing a statute of limitations usually bars the claim permanently.

type: Claim
text: Which statute applies to a specific claim, and when the clock started, is fact-specific legal judgment. Anyone with a potential breach of written contract claim near a deadline should consult a licensed attorney or legal aid immediately rather than rely on this reference.
