Titusville, FL asked in Banking for Florida

Q: What is the statute of limitations on filing a suit against a bank that released funds to someone not on the account?

The person was on the checking account, but not on the savings account. I withdrew my money from the checking account and deposited it into savings and 20 mins later, from another city, my ex-boyfriend was able to withdraw the $ from my personal savings account. It was thousands of dollars that I had received from an auto accident. The incident occurred in 1993. He had me so frightened that I never pursued retrieving the money.
