What is the limitation period for a plaintiff to file a claim?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Sam v. Garfield Beach CVS, LLC, E057531 (Cal. App. 2015):
Plaintiff stated in his deposition and declaration that he "consulted an attorney precisely because [he] wished to explore [his] legal remedies." (Guitierrez v. Mofid (1985) 39 Cal.3d 892, 897.) The limitation period was not delayed, suspended, or tolled merely because plaintiff's attorney told him he did not have sufficient evidence to file a claim. (Id. at p. 898.)
