Re: Statue of Limitations
The tort of negligence requires two elements:
1.The unreasonable behavior of the defendant; and
2.The injury to the plaintiff.
The tort is not complete until both elements are in existence. If you had no reason to know that you had sustained an injury, that is no pain, not limitation, you may not have had commenced the Statute of Limitations period. Examine this aspect of your situation very carefully.
