The appellant appeals. We reverse.

KENT A. SOMMER, ET AL. v. JOHN WOMICK, ET AL.
Court:TCA
Attorneys:
Joseph P. Bednarz, Sr., Nashville, Tennessee, A.V. Conway, II,
Hartford, Kentucky, and Steven R. Walker, Memphis, Tennessee, for the
appellants, Kent A. Sommer and Andrea Sommer.
David S. Zinn, Brentwood, Tennessee, and William K. Brandon,
Carbondale, Illinois, for the appellees, John Womick and Womick Law
Firm Chtd.
Judge: HARRIS
First Paragraph:
Appellants, Kent A. Sommer and Andrea Sommer, appeal from the
dismissal of a legal malpractice action filed by them against John
Womick and the Womick Law Firm Chtd. Dismissal was grounded in their
failure to file the lawsuit within the 1 year statute of limitations
for legal malpractice actions found in Tenn. Code Ann. B
28-3-104(a)(2). The legal malpractice action arose from dismissal of a
medical malpractice action filed by Womick in the Sommers' behalf. The
trial court held that the oral decision rendered by the federal judge
when dismissing the medical malpractice claim was sufficient to alert
the Sommers that the dismissal was based upon their lawyers
mishandling of the case. The trial court further found the statute of
limitations was not tolled by fraudulent concealment. We affirm.
