Sexual Harassment State Claims Statute Of Limitations in South Carolina

South Carolina’s statute of limitations for sexual harassment state claims is governed by S.C. Code Ann. § 15-3-530(5). This provision establishes a three-year window within which a claimant must file a civil action arising from the alleged harassment. The three-year period generally begins to run from the date the claim accrues, though the code sets out specific rules for determining accrual. The worked example below demonstrates how the deadline is calculated under this authority. For a precise estimate tailored to individual circumstances, the DocketMath calculator applies the verified rule from the official source to compute the filing deadline.
