Nursing Lawsuit

INSTRUCTIONS:

In a 3 paragraph response, decide the following fact scenario: A nursing home resident filed a lawsuit alleging that nurses caring for him were negligent in their care. Specifically, the nurses did not follow the care plan in that they failed to turn him every 2 hours, the frequently failed to get him out of bed so that he could sit in a wheelchair, and he remained in soiled bedding for long periods of time. As a result, he had multiple open wounds on his buttocks, hips, and heels, which are slowly resolving.  He filed this lawsuit 3 years after being removed from the nursing home.  How would the statute of limitations affect this suite? Are there any circumstances he could please that would allow this lawsuit to continue despite the 3-year interval?
