2010 New York Code
GOB - General Obligations
Article 12 - (12-101 - 12-110) DRUG DEALER LIABILITY ACT
12-110 - Periods of limitation.

§  12-110.  Periods of limitation. 1. Notwithstanding any provision of
  law to the contrary, a claim under this article may not be brought  more
  than  two  years  after  the  cause of action accrues. A cause of action
  accrues under this article when a person who may recover has  reason  to
  know  of  the harm from illegal drug use that is the basis for the cause
  of action and has reason to know that the illegal drug use is the  cause
  of such harm.
    2.  Notwithstanding  any  other provision of law to the contrary for a
  plaintiff, the statute of limitations under this section shall be tolled
  when an individual potential plaintiff is incapacitated by the use of an
  illegal drug to the extent that such  individual  cannot  reasonably  be
  expected  to  seek  recovery under this article or as otherwise provided
  for by law. For a defendant,  the  statute  of  limitations  under  this
  section  shall be tolled until six months after the individual potential
  defendant is convicted of a crime  involving  participation  in  a  drug
  market.
