Gunter v. Laboratory Corp. of America12/19/2003
ury does not arise out of an invasion of a right which "inheres in man as a rational being" such as the right to a good reputation. See Brown, 409 S.W.2d at 367. Accordingly, we must conclude that this cause of action is governed by the three-year statute of limitations for injuries to property. Consequently, we affirm the reversal of the trial court by the Court of Appeals.
IV. Conclusion
By this decision we conclude that the applicable statute of limitations for a negligence action against a blood testing laboratory regarding a report which was used to impose child support payments is the three-year statute of limitations for injury to property. Accordingly, we vacate the order of the trial court dismissing the complaint as barred by the statute of limitations. We affirm the Court of Appeals and remand the case for further proceedings.
The costs of appeal are taxed to the Appellant, Laboratory Corporation of America, for which execution may issue if necessary.
