Note from James L. Maswick – I asked our Law Clerk, Madison J. Marshall, to write a brief series on statutes of limitation in actions which involve personal injury. Madison’s series will explore how they can differ by cause of action, by defendant, and by the tort that is alleged. This is part 1 – we hope you enjoy reading! As always, for your specific situation, consult an attorney as soon as possible, as this series is for general information only.
