Question:
From 1979 to March 11, 1987, Raul worked in an ammunition factory. Beginning in 1991, Raul began suffering insomnia, abdominal pain, and tingling in his hands and feet. However, he attributed these symptoms to the aging process and to diabetes, a disease he had been diagnosed with five years earlier. In 1993, however, while only 52 years of age, Raul began suffering severe memory loss, daily headaches, and disorientation. On July 19, 1993, his family physician suggested that he might be suffering from lead poisoning. Raul removed everything he could think of from his home that might be contaminated with lead—for example, painted items. However, his symptoms failed to improve. On March 2, 1994, while watching television, Raul learned that workers can be exposed to high levels of lead while working in ammunition manufacturing. Raul immediately called a lawyer to commence a lawsuit against his former employer. On what date would the limitation period that applies to this lawsuit begin and why? Assuming that the typical limitation period applies to this lawsuit, what is the last date on which Raul can commence his action?
