Spar Gas, Inc. v. McCune

OPINION

CANTRELL, Judge.

In this suit for legal malpractice, the trial court granted summary judgment to the defendants, because it found that the statute of limitations had expired prior to the filing of the complaint. The plaintiffs argued that the statute had not expired, because their cause of action did not accrue until their damages became irremediable as the result of final action by a federal appeals court. However, we find that damages and other necessary elements to establish the cause of action occurred long before the appeals court rendered its opinion, and we affirm the trial court.
