Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statute of limitations for personal injury actions in Idaho is two years, and Graham waited more than two years to file a lawsuit against Alice. Therefore, he has lost his right to sue Alice, and option B is the correct choice. Option A is incorrect because appealing for an extension of the statute of limitations is not possible since the statute of limitations has already expired. Option C is also incorrect because if Graham were to file a lawsuit, he would be entitled to seek damages. Option D is incorrect because Graham, like any other plaintiff, would have the right to a jury trial if he filed a lawsuit within the statute of limitations period.
