This editorial from Rachael Denhollander is a worthwhile read. My previous post implies she took a lawyer-like approach to coming forward. Voila, she is a lawyer.
I don't agree with all of what she says but she makes some good observations. I am not one to grant special statutes of limitations. The limitations periods serve a purpose.
I once heard someone claim she now remembered she was sexually abused as a 2-year old after seeing a counselor. There really is a purpose to statutes of limitations cutting off stale claims. We have extended statutes of sexual abuse already in many cases, and I don't think we should give one class of personal injury claimants one statute, and another statute for those injured by a physician who did something that you discover 10-years later caused a severe problem.
