This is why Statutes of Limitation are SO important.  This guy filed a claim within 1 year of when he discovered that benzene caused his cancer, BUT it apparently was not filed within a year from when he was diagnosed (although the story is not clear on that).  In this case, he got caught in a state law trap.  The court told him that state law required that the claim be filed earlier.
