Alaska Supreme Court
Janice L. Park v. Jessica J. Spayd
May 20, 2022509 P.3d 1014
Summary
The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed summary judgment because Park's negligence and professional-malpractice claims accrued no later than 2010, when she knew of her injuries, Spayd's role in causing them, and the alleged negligence. The applicable limitations periods therefore expired years before Park filed suit in 2019. Equitable estoppel did not apply because Park could not show reasonable reliance on any alleged misrepresentations after independently discovering Spayd's negligence, and equitable tolling was waived and would not have made the claims timely.
