Statute of Limitations
The law provides the time frame, also known as the statute of limitations within which an injured person has the option of filing a lawsuit. Failure to comply with this deadline will result in the claim being "time barred" and the injured party will not be able claim compensation for injury their losses. The particulars of the statute of limitations vary from state to state, and each type of instance has its own distinct time frame, as well.
The statute of limitations "clock" typically starts ticking at the point that the accident or incident that caused injury occurs. However, there are several exceptions that can extend the time for filing lawsuits. One of these exceptions is known as the discovery rule which states that the clock of statute of limitations cannot begin until the injury lawsuit is discovered or reasonably could have been discovered. This is usually seen in cases where conditions are hidden, such asbestos or certain medical malpractice claims.
Another exception applies to minors, who have a year from their 18th birthday to begin litigation even while the statute of limitation would normally run before they reach age 19. There is also the "tolling" provision which extends the limitation period for certain circumstances like military service and involuntary mental hospitalization. Finally, there is the extension of the statute of limitations for willful concealment or misrepresentation.
Damages
Damages are compensation that is paid to the victim after a tort or wrongdoing. There are two types of damages: compensatory and punitive. Compensatory damages aim to compensate plaintiffs and to make them whole after an injury. Punitive damages are designed to penalize defendants who committed fraudulent acts, devious actions that caused harm or gross negligence.

Statute of Repose
There are some differences between statutes of limitation and statutes de repose. Both limit the amount of time a plaintiff has to bring a claim for injury however, there are some similarities. Statutes of limitation are a procedural and forward-looking law and forward-looking, while statutes of repose are substantive and retro-looking.
A statute of repose, as it's known is a law that establishes a time frame when legal action can be prohibited - with the same exceptions that a statute or limitations. A statute of repose is typically applied to product liability suits, and medical malpractice claims.
The main difference is that whereas the statute of limitations usually starts to run when a plaintiff suffers injury or is aware of their loss the statute of repose generally begins to run when an event triggers it. This can be a challenge in cases involving product liability. It could take years before a plaintiff buys and utilizes a product and the company becomes aware of any issues.

Duty of Care
A duty of care is the obligation that one owes to others to use reasonable caution when doing things that could result in harm. It is generally considered negligence when someone fails to fulfill their duty of care and someone is injured as a result. There are a myriad of circumstances where a person or company is obligated to provide care to the public, for example doctors and accountants preparing taxes and store owners removing snow and ice from the sidewalks to avoid people falling and causing injury to themselves.
To successfully seek damages in a case of tort you will need to prove that the party who injured you was bound by the duty of care, that they violated their duty of care and that their negligence was the sole and primary cause of your injury. The standard of care is typically determined by what other doctors would do in similar situations. For example, if a doctor performs surgery on the wrong leg, injury it could be deemed a breach of duty because other surgeons under similar circumstances will likely read the patient's chart correctly.
It is also important to keep in mind that the standard of care cannot be so high that it could make it impossible to impose liability on all parties. In jury trials, and in bench trials the balance is scrutinized by juries as well as judges.
