Our Minneapolis office recently wrapped an attorney and staff 'Back-to-School Supply Drive' to #ClearTheList for some very worthy local elementary school teachers and classrooms at Prodeo Academy in St. Paul, MN. Every year, our offices are involved in a number of charitable causes around the country. At Bowman and Brooke, we believe our duty to serve extends beyond the demands of our basic obligations and job descriptions. By devoting time and resources to our communities, we hope to make a significant and lasting contribution beyond the courtroom. We wanted to share a few of the many adorable thank you notes we received from the students of Mrs. Carter's second grade class (they clearly were smitten with our firm mascot 🐯) and some photos Ms. Picotte sent us of the items donated to her classroom. #CharitableGiving #GiveBack #DoGood #ThankYouTeachers

On August 15, 2024, the Nevada Supreme Court issued a pivotal ruling in Adkins v. Union Pacific Railroad, affecting the statute of limitations for latent defect claims with ambiguous factual circumstances. The Court in Adkins held that the statute of limitations is tolled, or paused, “until the injured party discovers or reasonably should have discovered the facts supporting” their claims even if a plaintiff merely states they were told the product has “no problems.” This principle, known as the “discovery rule,” can substantially extend the timeframe a plaintiff can pursue legal action against a company for an alleged latent defect in any product including a vehicle.
