Message: [QUOTE="jgeorge322, post: 84205, member: 761"] sobristol and capt tuttle are misinformed slightly. the sol is 3 years from the date of occurrence. doesn't matter intentional torts as this is a personal injury claim. the claimant would have 3 years from the occurrence or three years after he turns 18 because he is a minor. new orleans is not a state. but La is a VERY unique jurisidiction. it is the only state in the country that doesn't follow the uniform commercial codes in regards to products liability claims. i have no idea what the statute is. it is different for most states but typical time frame is 2 or 3 years. some are much longer. however, i am telling you that if he says his "injury" aka psychological issues didn't manifest itself until recently, he may get some leniency from the courts on this issue. think of it as a asbestos case. the exposure could have been 30 years ago but the cancer does not manifest itself until later on in life.
