Oldenkamp v. Sabo
Plaintiff sued defendants for wrongful death and elder abuse, arising out of the death of her mother. The trial court granted defendants’ motion for summary judgment on the ground that appellant’s lawsuit was barred by the applicable statute of limitations. On appeal from the ensuing judgment, Appellant insists that the statute was tolled when she complained to the Medical Board of California that respondent had falsified her mother’s death certificate, and that the filing of her complaint, i.e., nearly six months after the Board filed an accusation against respondent, was within the one-year limitation period. Alternatively, mother argues defendants, by reason of their conduct, should be estopped from asserting the statute as a defense. Finding no error, court affirms.
