The minor plaintiff was injured when struck by a tow truck near the proposed defendants' home.
The minor's father was appointed litigation guardian and sued the tow truck owner and driver, who counterclaimed for negligent supervision and third-partied the homeowners.
After the limitation period expired, the plaintiffs moved to add the homeowners as defendants.
The court dismissed the motion, finding the father knew the material facts on the day of the accident, and held that a litigation guardian's potential conflict of interest does not suspend the running of the limitation period.
