What is the federal statute of limitations for an action brought by a plaintiff who claims to have been injured in a motor vehicle accident?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from United Paperworkers Intern. Union and Its Local 340 v. Specialty Paperboard, Inc., 999 F.2d 51 (2nd Cir. 1993):

6 We have stated this test more expansively in other cases. Thus, we found that applying a federal limitations period might be appropriate "(1) where the statutory claim in question covers a multiplicity of types of actions, leading to the possible application of a number of different types of state statutes of limitations, (2) where the federal law claim does not precisely match any state law claim, (3) where the challenged action is multistate in nature, perhaps leading to forum shopping and inordinate litigation expense, and (4) where a federal statute proves a very close analogy." Ceres Partners v. Gel Assocs., 918 F.2d 349, 357 (2d Cir.1990). These tests differ only in wording and should not be seen to rely on different considerations.
