Which of the following does NOT fall under a three-year statute of limitations?

Property damage
Legal malpractice
Medical malpractice
Personal injury

The correct answer is: Medical malpractice

A three-year statute of limitations is applicable to several types of legal actions, particularly torts. Among the choices provided, medical malpractice does not fall under a three-year statute of limitations; instead, it typically has a longer limitation period in New York, which is generally two years and six months from the date of the alleged malpractice. Property damage, legal malpractice, and personal injury claims are all subject to a three-year limitation period under New York law. This means that individuals have three years from the date of the incident (or injury) to file a lawsuit regarding damage to property, issues of legal representation, or personal injuries. The distinction is crucial in understanding how different types of claims are treated under New York's legal system, especially in terms of timely actions to preserve rights and remedies available for various wrongs.
