Benton v. Roger C. Peace Hospital

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that when injuries constitute two separate and distinct harms, the statute of limitations begins to run at different times for each injury
• holding that knowledge of wrongdoing, namely, leaving patient unattended in wheelchair that fell over, did not trigger statute of limitations for injuries not readily discoverable at the time of the accident
• finding the appellant’s negligence claim for neurological injuries resulting from a fall at a hospital was not barred by the statute of limitations because “[t]he nature of the injuries was not readily discoverable” when the fall occurred
