   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  21-2028
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Shepherd, Author, with Kelly and Grasz, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Torts. In action alleging plaintiff had suffered bilateral 
   impingement syndrome as a result of the defective design of the tie-down 
   ratcheting system used on defendant's car-hauler trailers, the district 
   court erred in determining that plaintiff's claim originated in Illinois 
   in April 2013, when he awoke in a motel room with numbness in his arms; 
   while the Illinois motel experience was evidence of substantial damage, it 
   was insufficient alone to put a reasonable person on notice of a 
   potentially actionable injury as a matter of law, and the district court 
   erred in granting defendant's motion for summary judgment based on 
   defendant's claim the suit was barred by Illinois's two-year statute of 
   limitations as calculated from the Illinois motel incident.
