Statute of Limitations - Tolling The Statute - Time, Action, Tolled, Debt, Disability, and Period

Statute of Limitations - Tolling The Statute - Time, Action, Tolled, Debt, Disability, and Period: "Statutes of limitations are designed to aid defendants. A plaintiff, however, can prevent the dismissal of his action for untimeliness by seeking to toll the statute. When the statute is tolled, the running of the time period is suspended until some event specified by law takes place. Tolling provisions benefit a plaintiff by extending the time period in which he is permitted to bring suit."
