Does the presence of a foreign body, i.e. the guide wire, tolled the statute of limitations?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Trimble v. Fightlin, F071493 (Cal. App. 2017):
Trimble contends that the presence of a "foreign body," i.e., the guide wire, tolled the statute of limitations until he became aware of the guide wire's role in causing his injuries. To support this position, he relies on Ashworth v. Memorial Hospital (1988) 206 Cal.App.3d 1046 (Ashworth).
