Ray was driving to UHD on his way to class and he was late as usual. On the way to school, Ray saw his neighbor whom he strongly disliked, trip and fall over a flower pot. Ray let his window down, told his neighbor he should be more careful, and sped past the neighbor. The neighbor laid there for hours and sustained serious injuries that could have been prevented if someone had called the ambulance for him. If the neighbor sues Ray for negligence, will he prevail?

If the neighbor sues Ray for negligence he won't prevail because that was an act of crime. If he say the trip and fall over he might have been killed by the injuries. Ray will  be sentenced to at least a couple months in prison.

the first part of the statute of limitations is the standard deadline, which gives victims of medical malpractice a certain number of years -- usually anywhere from two to six years, depending on the state -- after the malpractice occurred within which to file a lawsuit.
