Court rules that case brought within 2 years in another state satisfied Virginia's statute of limitations
AppId is over the quota
Here is an unusual situation:
The plaintiff was injured in Virginia in a car accident with a resident of Ohio. He filed suit within 2 years in Ohio and he filed an identical suit here in Virginia after two years had passed.
After much legal wrangling, the Virginia court said that the lawsuit filed in Ohio (even though that Court ordered the case transferred to Virginia) was good enough to stop the running of the statue of limitations.
In this case an action was filed in the Ohio court one day before the running of the statute of limitations. The fact that the original action was filed in another state, and perhaps in an improper venue, is of no concern to this Court. The plain language of the tolling statute contemplates "any action" commenced within two years. Code § 8.01-229(E)(1). The commencement of the Ohio action falls within the statute.
This action was also brought within the remaining period allowed by the statute of limitations once the original action had ended, in this case one day. The fact that this action was commenced before the tolling period ended is not of consequence.
Thornton v. Estes Express Lines, 15 Cir. CL0800086500, 77 Va. Cir. 455 (2009)

Proposed changes to Wisconsin rules of evidence in created more confusion, bust for companies
In his efforts to make it more difficult, a fair remuneration to the controlled Wisconsin legislator has Republicans injured bills, the State rules to change, which would serve, by negligent driver or faulty products, to witness limit the experts, the juries may a study into account. The proposed amendment would also, it ironically more expensive companies to do the business in Wisconsin.
Invoices accept claim, what is commonly known as the Daubert rule, since the subject of much litigation in the federal courts it adopted 15 years ago. Testimony was our experts in cases we have never restricted at the Federal Court. But it can significantly the costs for the appeal examination, further hinder drive up the injured access to the courtroom.
Evidence, however, apply to all types of cases. They apply to companies against business cases, criminal cases, paternity cases in essentially all types of decisions of the Court. The Wisconsin court system compiles statistics on national RS filings, which show that contracts and money judgments, usually companies against business cases or companies against individual cases outweigh personal registrations of more than 9 to 1. http://www.wicourts.gov/about/Pubs/Circuit/docs/civildispostate09.PDF
It is surprising to us that it actually a Bill pretending, business, help for companies is compensation, if they are wrong more expensive.
Professor Daniel Blinka the Marquette University law school, and the author of the book show "definitive" on Wisconsin will this change the proposed provisions in his blog:
"Justify [W] hat policy changing?" Will someone point please the case-law, which illustrates the inadequacy of the current rule? I don't see it. "But I see much litigation in the course of this ill-fated revision."
Professor Blinka has also disadvantages, that while the draft law on the face can sound reasonable would it create more confusion in addition to expensive litigation. Read Professor Blinka blog here:

The safe teen and novice driver uniform protection Act (STANDUP) is planning, reduce deaths and injuries, by law for all new teen driving national teen driver. You say the STANDUP sponsors many States already have some form of graduated driver licensing laws and standardization across the country will be shown to save lives and money.
"In the last five years alone, over 40,000 young people died in motor vehicle crashes and hundreds of thousands have suffered more debilitating injuries," said Jackie Gillan, Vice President of the advocates for Highway and auto safety. "The economic and emotional costs for parents, family and friends are unacceptable and unnecessary." Studies show that the annual cost of teen crashes more than $30 billion. We could use the money that by four years tuition fees of more than one million pay young people in a four-year University. That is equal to the entire teen population in the State of Illinois. We can make so many young Jews no longer the cost or the terrible loss. "It is time to act."
Requires STANDUP all States if signed into law, to comply with in order to receive federal highway construction program funding and grants. Non-compliant government money would be in States that comply with the law. US Congressman Randy Hultgren (R - IL) is one of the sponsors of the law and even if many of the proposed amendments meet Illinois, Hultgren white first-hand the importance of the safe teen driving, with 17-year-old in the household. The biggest change for Illinois teen drivers are age for a learner permit until increase 15 years age of 16.
"Young people are many distractions in the drive," said Chicago car accident lawyer and SuperLawyer Paul A. Greenberg, Esq.. "Go a long way to protect are these differentiated rules teen drivers and those around them."
STANDUP rules would limit, night drive, ban cell phone use, unless, of course, emergency happens, and restrict the number of teen passengers in a vehicle. Teenage drivers would not for a full license until it to reach age of 18. "Teen driving crashes are the leading cause of death for young adults and public health represent a crisis", said Dr. Kyran Quinlan, Member of the American Academy of Pediatrics Committee on injury, violence and poison prevention. "But we already have a proven treatment for this disease, the thousands dead and injured every year would prevent: STAND UP Act passed." This law will ensure that every new driver, no matter where he or she lives, the same training, the same laws and the same protection will have. "This Bill will save lives."
