§ 27201 Two-Year Statute Limitations

• •You have to sue within 2 years of the bad thing happening.
• •If you find out about the bad thing later, you have 1 year from when you found out.
• •You can't sue after whichever time runs out first.

Someone lied to you about a car they sold you, and you didn't realize it until later.

If the car was sold to you on January 1, 2020, but you didn't find out about the lie until January 1, 2022, you have until January 1, 2023 to sue because you found out late. But if you found out on January 1, 2021, you only have until January 1, 2022 to sue because the 2-year limit from the sale runs out first.
