How long do I have to sue over written contract in Pennsylvania?

Answered for: Pennsylvania

(a) General rule.-- Except as provided for in subsection (b), the following actions and proceedings must be commenced within four years: ... (8) An action upon a contract, obligation or liability founded upon a writing not specified in paragraph (7), under seal or otherwise, except an action subject to another limitation specified in this subchapter.

In Pennsylvania you have 4 years to sue over written contract. When that clock starts, and whether anything can pause it, are separate questions this entry does not answer.

This answer is true in Pennsylvania and nowhere else on this site. Another jurisdiction is another answer, or an honest gap: see what has been read for Pennsylvania.
