Claim Types
Outcome
The Puerto Rico Supreme Court reversed the lower courts and granted summary judgment for Dr. Mestre Morera, holding that the plaintiff's negligence claim against him was time-barred because plaintiffs knew of his identity and role six years before amending the complaint to include him, and failed to exercise reasonable diligence in bringing the claim.
