The state of Idaho has a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury actions. Graham was injured by Alice in a car accident on January 1, 2013. If Graham wants to bring a lawsuit against Alice on January 15, 2015, which of the following is most likely to be the outcome? A) Graham is allowed to sue Alice after appealing for an extension of the statute of limitations.

B) Graham is not allowed to sue Alice, having lost his right to sue her.

C) Graham can sue Alice but will not receive damages.

D) Graham can sue Alice but is not entitled to a jury trial.

B) Graham is not allowed to sue Alice, having lost his right to sue her.

Explanation:

Time limits matter, and the law is very strict on enforcing time limits. If the statute of limitations for personal injures is X amount of years, and the injured person doesn't file a claim within that period, then it is not a valid claim.

I guess that there are some exceptions, like if the injury was so severe that Graham was in coma for more than 2 years, then he wasn't capable of filing a claim before, but those are exceptions, not the rule.

Since the accident happened two years and 14 days before Graham's claim, and the statute was only 2 years, then the claim is not valid.
