Depends on what type of suit you are filing. There are different statutes of limitations for different types of claims. If you are going to file do it sooner than later.

You are probably talking about a tort action for negligence, which would be determined by state law. Every state's time limitations are different. If this is a common type of accident, like a car accident or a slip and fall, your statute of limitations is probably considerably short, like two years from the date of the negligent act. You should check with a local licensed attorney.
