Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“(1) All actions for which no other period of limitation is prescribed shall be commenced within three (3) years next after the cause of action accrued, and not after. (2) In actions for which no other period of limitation is prescribed and which involve latent injury or disease, the cause of action does not accrue until the plaintiff has discovered, or by reasonable diligence should have discovered, the injury.”
6 later decisions quote this exact passage“[T]he discovery exception of Section 15-1-49 is applicable “where the plaintiff will be precluded from discovering the harm or injury because of the secretive or inherently undiscoverable nature of the wrongdoing in question ... [or] the discovery exception may be applied when it is unrealistic to expect a layman to perceive the injury at the time of the wrongful act”.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“[T]he plain language of the statute supports [the] argument that the cause of action accrued upon discovery of the injury, not discovery of the injury and its cause .”
