This is most commonly encountered in cases involving concealed conditions, like asbestos exposure or medical malpractice claims.
Another exemption is for minors who have a year following the age of 18 to start litigation even although the statute of limitations would normally run before they reach age 19. There is also the "tolling" provision, which allows the limitations period to be suspended during certain circumstances and events including military service or involuntary mental hospitalization. The statute of limitations could be extended in the event of fraud or willful concealment.
Damages
Damages are the compensation paid to the victim in the aftermath of an act of wrongdoing or tort. There are two types of damages: punitive and compensatory.

Statutes of limitations are procedural and forward-looking statutes of repose are substantive and forward-looking.

Duty of Care
A duty of care is an obligation one owes to others to exercise reasonable care when performing a task that could foreseeably cause harm. If someone fails to comply with a duty and suffers injury because of it, this is considered to be a case of negligence. There are a variety of situations where a person or company is obligated to provide care to the public, including accountants and doctors who prepare taxes and store owners removing snow and ice from sidewalks to stop people from falling and injuring themselves.
In order to successfully claim damages in a case of tort it is necessary to establish that the party that injured you was bound by a duty of care, and that they violated that duty of care, and that their breach was the primary and most direct cause of your injury. The norm of care is usually established by what other medical professionals would do in similar circumstances. For example in the event that a doctor injury does surgery on the wrong leg, it may be deemed a breach of duty because other surgeons working in similar circumstances would most likely be able to read the patient's record correctly.
It is also important to keep in mind that the standard of care must not be high enough to make it impossible to impose liability on all parties. In jury trials, as well as in bench trials the balance is assessed by juries and judges.
