Okay, listers and groupies, here's a good question:
If a mother has a baby with a birth defect allegedly caused by prenatal
exposure to a drug, and she sues, when does prescription (i.e. statute of
limitations) begin to run? From the birth of the baby? From the time the mother found
out about the defect (e.g. through ultrasound)?
The La. Supreme Court just came out with this one.
