Carroll Edward Mumpower v. City of Erwin, Tennessee

The issue raised on appeal is whether the filing of a complaint by plaintiff Mumpower within one year after discovering his current medical condition to be causally related to an earlier accident is time-barred and cause for dismissal of this suit. The trial court found equitable estoppel not implicated and the fact that in 1998 plaintiff received additional information that his 1992 injury was worse than originally believed did not serve to extend the operation of the statute of limitations. We affirm the judgment of the court.
