How courts have described this case

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

  • holding that a reasonable factfinder could determine that it was reasonable for the plaintiff not to make the connection between “relatively mild symptoms” and their cause
  • holding that motions to dismiss for failure to file a timely FTCA administrative complaint are evaluated under the stricter standard of Rule 12(b)(1) rather than the more lax standard of 12(b)(6)
  • declining to determine whether statute of limitations challenge to claim under the FTCA should be brought under Rule 12(b)(1) or Rule 12(b)(6)
  • finding plaintiff satisfied duty to inquire into the cause of her injuries where she “eonsult[ed] several different doctors” who informed her that they did not know the cause of her problems
  • “Because there is no evidence in the record to suggest that plaintiff did not conduct her inquiry in a reasonable manner, we hold that her submission-is sufficient for a reasonable factfinder to conclude that she satisfied her duty to inquire.”
