Seventh Circuit: P.W. v. USA

 

Although a traumatic birth is insufficient to trigger the statute of limitations, the circumstances around the birth were sufficient to put a reasonable person on notice of the possibility of an actionable claim.

Federal tort claim act requires actual dismissal of intervening claim to trigger the statutory exception to the statute of limitations.

Statute of limitations not estopped by clinic's lack of explicit designation as a federally funded facility.

Equitable tolling unavailable, given publicly available database of federal health care providers.s
