Timothy L. Wilson filed a professional malpractice action against attorneys Hank E. Sledge, Jr., George Z. Goldberg, Russell A. Dohan, and their firm, Goldberg & Dohan, LLC. Wilson alleged that the defendants improperly dismissed his workers' compensation claim against Memphis Light, Gas & Water without his consent in April 2010. The defendants moved to dismiss, arguing the action was barred by the one-year statute of limitations. The trial court found that a post-mediation agreement, which Wilson signed, authorized the dismissal of his workers' compensation claim and that Wilson had actual knowledge of the dismissal by May 2010 at the latest. Consequently, his professional malpractice complaint, filed on July 29, 2011, was beyond the limitations period. The Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court's judgment, dismissing the action and remanding for enforcement of costs.
