Statutes of limitations may be tolled by late discovery of injury

Evidence

Fallacies also arise in the nonexclusivity of the disjuncts. “All personal injury complaints for negligence must be brought within the two years of the automobile collision or the claim will be barred,” fails to contemplate the tolling of the limitations period because of a late discovery that the injury occurred. Accordingly, the disjuncts are not mutually exclusive. — Ruggero J. Aldisert, Agatha D. Aldisert, Logic for Lawyers- A Guide to Clear…, 977
