What is the statute of limitations and can it be extended. It will be 6 years in Feb 2004. Her condition is getting worse...

My response:

Your question has nothing to do with Utah. Since the assault and battery occurred in Mexico, any lawsuit must be handled in Mexico.

Additionally, we don't know what the Statute of Limitations would be for such an act in Mexico. Why? Because this site is for United States law, only.

Check with an Abogado (attorney) in Mexico - - but I have a feeling that 6 years is probably over the time limit.
