Interference With Business Relations Statute Of Limitations in West Virginia

West Virginia’s tort of interference with business relations carries a two-year statute of limitations, as established under W. Va. Code § 55-2-12. This governing authority sets the filing deadline for claims alleging improper disruption of existing or prospective contractual relationships. The two-year period begins to run from the date the plaintiff discovers, or through reasonable diligence should have discovered, the wrongful interference and the resulting injury. The statute does not enumerate specific exceptions or tolling provisions within its text; those details, along with any applicable factors, are contained in the official source. The worked example below demonstrates the straightforward calculation of this deadline. To estimate the filing cutoff for a particular set of facts, the DocketMath calculator should be used.
