Statute of LimitationsLast updated on May 23rd, 2008 Washington Statute of Limitations for Intrusion ClaimsIt is not clear what the statute of limitations is for intrusion in Washington because courts in Washington only recently recognized intrusion claims. For defamation and false light invasion of privacy cases, the statute of limitations is 2 years. See RCW 4.16.100(1). At least one source indicates that courts will likely apply this 2 year statute of limitations to intrusion claims as well. See Media Law Resource Center, 50-State Survey 2007-2008: Media Privacy and Related Law (2008). If this is not the case, the statute of limitations is likely the 3 year period applied to other torts. See RCW 4.16.080.
Last updated on March 2nd, 2008 Virginia Statute of Limitations for Intrusion ClaimsCourts in Virginia do not recognize intrusion claims, see WJLA-TV v. Levin, 564 S.E.2d 383, 395 n.5 (2002), therefore the statute of limitations is inapplicable.

Last updated on March 2nd, 2008 North Carolina Statute of Limitations for Intrusion ClaimsThe statute of limitations for intrusion claims in North Carolina is either 1 or 3 years. Because there is no specific statute on point, North Carolina courts would either use the same limitations period for intrusion as they do for libel, slander and defamation suits (1 year), see N.C. Gen. Stat. 1-54(3), or the general (3 year) catch-all statute of limitations for claims that are not specified elsewhere, see N.C. Gen. Stat. 1-52(5).
Last updated on March 2nd, 2008 New York Statute of Limitations for Intrusion ClaimsThe state of New York does not recognize intrusion upon seclusion claims, so no statute of limitations is relevant. See Howell v. New York Post Co., 612 N.E.2d 699, 703 (N.Y. 1993).
Last updated on March 2nd, 2008 New Jersey Statute of Limitations for Intrusion ClaimsThe statute of limitations for intrusion claims in New Jersey is 2 years. See N.J. Stat. Ann. 2A:14-2.
Last updated on March 2nd, 2008 Michigan Statute of Limitations for Intrusion ClaimsThe statute of limitations for intrusion cases in Michigan is most likely 3 years. There is no specific statute governing the limitation period for a right to privacy suit. It is likely that courts would not apply the 1 year statute of limitations for libel. See Mich. Comp. Laws 600.5805(9). Rather, a court would likely apply the general 3 year statute of limitations for injury to person or property when reviewing an intrusion claim. See Mich. Comp. Laws 600.5805(10).
