The statute of limitations for a bad check varies by state. Generally, the statute of limitations for bad checks is between 2 and 6 years. This means the amount of time you have to file a lawsuit against someone who has issued a bad check differs depending on where you live.
However, some states may have specific exceptions or shorter timeframes for certain types of bad checks. To get the exact statute of limitations for your state, it's best to consult with an attorney or research the laws in your jurisdiction.
