Intentional Negligent Infliction Of Emotional Distress Statute Of Limitations in California

California’s intentional negligent infliction of emotional distress claim is governed by Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1, which sets a two-year statute of limitations. This provision applies to actions for assault, battery, or injury to, or for the death of, an individual caused by the wrongful act or neglect of another. The two-year period generally begins when the plaintiff discovers, or through reasonable diligence should have discovered, the injury and its negligent cause. The official source at leginfo.legislature.ca.gov provides the precise statutory language and any applicable exceptions or tolling provisions. The worked example below demonstrates how the two-year limit applies to a typical factual scenario. To estimate how this rule applies to your specific circumstances, use the DocketMath calculator.
