It states that the clock for the statute of limitations doesn't begin until the injury has been discovered or ought to have been discovered. This is seen most often when conditions are concealed, such as asbestos or certain medical malpractice claims.
Another exception applies to minors, who have a year from their 18th birthday to initiate litigation, even while the statute of limitation would normally run before they reach age 19.

There is also the statute of limitations extension for willful concealment or false representation.
Damages
Damages are a form of compensation that is given to the victim in the aftermath of an act of wrongdoing or tort. There are two types of damages: punitive and compensatory.

In a nutshell, a statute of repose is a law that imposes an exact deadline for when legal actions are barred -without the same exceptions as a statute of limitations. A statute of repose is usually used in construction defect lawsuits, products liability suits, and medical malpractice claims.
The main difference is that whereas the statute of limitations usually is in effect when the plaintiff is hurt or becomes aware of their loss and injured a statute of restraint usually begins to run when an incident triggers it.

Duty of Care
A duty of care is the obligation that individuals owe to others to exercise reasonable caution when performing activities that could result in harm. It is usually regarded as negligence when a person fails fulfill their duty of care and a person is injured due to the negligence. A business or individual has an obligation to care for the public in many situations. This includes doctors who are preparing tax returns, accountants who prepare tax returns, and store owners clearing snow off the sidewalks so that people do not fall and end up hurting themselves.
To be able to claim damages in a tort lawsuit you will need to prove that the party who injured you owed you an obligation of care, that they violated their duty of care, and that their negligence was the primary and most direct cause of your injury. The standard of care is generally determined by what other doctors would do under similar circumstances. For instance the case where a physician performs surgery on the wrong leg, it could be considered a breach of duty since other surgeons operating in the same circumstances would likely be able to read the patient's record correctly.
It is important to note, too, that the standard of care must not be enough to impose the same liability to all parties. In jury trials, as well as in bench trials, the balance is carefully evaluated by juries as well as judges.
