How courts have described this case

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

• concluding that the theory does not apply where each injury is discrete and known to the victim at the time it occurs
• declining to consider the defendant’s federal and state equal- protection claims separately where neither the defendant nor the trial court below distinguished between those claims
• “For actions based on personal injury, a tort is complete when an injury results from the wrongful act or omission.”
• “[a]bsent adequate notice under OCGA § 9-11-43 (c), [Georgia courts] presume that the foreign law is the same as Georgia’s”
• “Of course, the United States Supreme Court’s construction of a federal constitutional provision does not bind our construction of a similar Georgia constitutional provision, which must be construed independently in the light of the Georgia provision’s text, context, and history.”
• “A plaintiff may not amend the complaint after losing at the summary judgment stage because the plaintiff has a duty to present her case in full in opposing the summary judgment motion or run the risk of an adjudication against her.”
