Question

The state of Idaho has a two- year statute of limitations for personal injury actions. Bart was injured by Lisa in a car accident on January 1, 2011. If Bart wants to bring a lawsuit against Lisa on January 15, 2013, which of the following is most likely to be the outcome?

Answer 1

Bart is not allowed to sue her.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the statute of limitations for personal injury actions is 2 years, he is not allowed to sue Lisa given that the time difference between 15 January 2013 (the day he wants to sue her) and 1 January 2011 (the date in which Bart was injured because of an accident) is 2 years and 14 days. He is therefore, not allowed to sue Lisa.
