Tolling the Statute of Limitations New York
<p>I'm new and am wondering where I could find the statutes that detail the possible ways to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tolling_(law)" rel="nofollow noreferrer">toll the statute of limitations</a> in New York. Also, might some of these possibilities not be in statutes but in case law? In either event, I'm looking for the broad categories whereby tolling of a statute of limitation is possible.</p>

<p>The main grounds for tolling a non-criminal case statute of limitations set forth in statutes in New York State are as follows, which can be found <a href="https://codes.findlaw.com/ny/civil-practice-law-and-rules/#!tid=NEC63AB018B514F52B0B3A3FDFC7504D8" rel="nofollow noreferrer">at this link</a>:</p>
<p>NY CPLR § 207. Defendant's absence from state or residence under false name</p>
<p>NY CPLR § 208. Infancy, insanity</p>
<p>NY CPLR § 209. War</p>
<p>NY CPLR § 210. Death of claimant or person liable;  cause of action accruing after death and before grant of letters</p>
<p>There are also case law grounds to toll a statute of limitations that aren't easy to sum up in one place.</p>
<p>Finally, in addition to the question of tolling, there is a related question of when a cause of action accrues (i.e. when do you start counting). In many cases, a statute of limitations only begins to accrue when particular facts are discovered by a potential plaintiff, rather than when  the wrongful act actually occurs.</p>
