No prescription runs against a person unable to bring an action.

Explanation

The statute of limitations does not run against one who is legally incapable of suing — minority, imprisonment, insanity, or other disability tolls the prescriptive period.

Where this applies

• I was in prison during the time I should have filed my claim — the clock shouldn't run against me.
• A minor can't sue until they reach legal age — the limitation period should be paused.
