What is the statute of limitations for infringement of the right to health?

Legal analysis: the limitation of action means that the obligee fails to exercise his rights within the statutory period, that is, he loses the right to request the people's court to force the obligor to perform his obligations in accordance with the litigation procedures. China's civil law stipulates three kinds of limitation of action:

1, general statute of limitations. That is, the limitation of action for requesting the people's court to protect civil rights is generally 3 years.

2. Special statute of limitations. That is, the limitation period of some actions is 1 year. They include: people who claim personal injury compensation; Undeclared sales of unqualified goods; Delaying or refusing to pay rent; Loss or damage of the deposited property.

3. The longest statute of limitations. That is, if the rights have been infringed for more than 20 years, the people's court will not protect them. The limitation of ordinary civil action is 3 years, but there is also 1 year. If a person claims compensation for personal injury, the limitation of action is 1 year, but the longest limitation of action for ordinary, exceptional and special civil cases shall not exceed 20 years.

Legal basis: Civil Code of People's Republic of China (PRC).

Article 188 The limitation of action for requesting the people's court to protect civil rights shall be three years. Where there are other provisions in the law, those provisions shall prevail. The limitation period of action shall be counted from the date when the creditor knows or should know that the right is damaged and the debtor knows it. Where there are other provisions in the law, those provisions shall prevail. However, the people's court shall not protect the rights that have been damaged for more than 20 years. Under special circumstances, the people's court may decide to extend the time according to the application of the obligee.

Article 189 Where the parties agree to perform the same debt by installments, the limitation period of action shall be counted from the date when the last installment expires.

Article 192 Upon the expiration of the limitation of action, the debtor may raise a defense of non-performance. After the expiration of the limitation period of action, if the debtor agrees to perform it, it shall not defend itself on the grounds of the expiration of the limitation period of action; If the debtor voluntarily performs, it may not request the return.

Article 193 A people's court may not apply the limitation of action on its own initiative.
