United States Third Circuit
PRUDENTIAL LIFE INS. CO. OF AM. v. US GYPSUM CO., 02-3837
Plaintiff's civil RICO suit to recover monitoring and remediation costs arising from the asbestos-containing materials used in its buildings is time-barred. Plaintiff should have known of its injuries prior to October 20, 1983; because it was not shown to have exercised reasonable diligence in investigating its injuries, no fraudulent concealment on the part of defendants can justify a tolling of the limitations period.
