How long do I have to sue over oral contract in Massachusetts?
Answered for: Massachusetts
founded upon contracts or liabilities, express or implied ... shall, except as otherwise provided, be commenced only within six years next after the cause of action accrues.
The statute states 6 years for oral contract. When that clock starts, and whether it can be paused, are separate questions this entry does not answer.
This answer is true in Massachusetts and nowhere else on this site. Another jurisdiction is another answer, or an honest gap: see what has been read for Massachusetts.
