In a May 2002 medical report, he concluded that the node can be unequivocally related to PVA and that it is also logical that chronic exposure to airborne pollutants could unequivocally result in respiratory injury and immune suppression resulting in the history of chronic sinusitis and cough. Lieberman stated in a subsequent medical report concerning Purdy's respiratory and LCH conditions, [T]here are no other reasonable explanations to account for her upper airway injury and distress It is also more logical to conclude on the basis of temporality that whatever was causing the upper airway disturbance was also causing the proliferation of the submental lymph node It is therefore more certain than not that her body was reacting to the presence of the [PVA], OCGA 9-11-50(a) provides in pertinent part that (i)f there is no conflict in the evidence as to any material issue and the evidence introduced, with all reasonable deductions therefrom, shall demand a particular verdict, such verdict shall be directed.

Meanwhile, around the first of 2000, Purdy became concerned that the black substance was something other than mildew and that it was adversely affecting her health because she was experiencing respiratory problems, i.e., a lot of congestion, a lot of sputum, a lot of deep wheezing and coughing, and things of that nature.

Jackson, MS 39202. Id. While the jury was nevertheless authorized to find that Ambling, all along, had constructive knowledge that the contamination was instead comprised of burned particles containing PVA and yet negligently failed to correct the problem, there is no clear and convincing evidence that Ambling knew or should have known that prolonged exposure to these particles would cause the personal injury for which Purdy sought recovery.

A statement of the qualifications of the person signing the report may be included as part of the basis for providing the information contained therein, and the opinion of the person signing the report with regard to the etiology of the injury or disease may be included as part of the diagnosis. As the Supreme Court of Georgia has explained, the theory of continuing tort applies where any negligent or tortious act is of a continuing nature and produces injury in varying degrees over a period of time.9 Where there is a breach of a duty owed to another and the cumulative effects of continued exposure result in injury, a cause of action accrues when exposure to the hazard first produces ascertainable injury.10, While the tort is then complete in the sense that it will support a claim, it is nevertheless a tort of a continuing nature which tolls the statute of limitation so long as the continued exposure to the hazard is occasioned by the continued failure of the tortfeasor to warn the victim, and the statute of limitation does not commence to run under these circumstances until such time as the continued tortious act producing injury is eliminated, e.g., by an appropriate warning in respect to the hazard.11, We conclude that the continuing tort theory applies here such that the statute of limitation did not begin to run against Purdy until the exposure was eliminated, i.e., either Purdy removed herself from exposure to the hazard or Ambling took some measure to abate the contamination, warn Purdy of the hazard, or remove her from it.12 Because there was evidence that Purdy's exposure to the hazard was not eliminated more than two years before suit was filed, the trial court did not err in denying Ambling's motion for directed verdict on the ground that Purdy's personal injury claim was precluded by OCGA 9-3-33.13, 2. Meanwhile, around the "first of 2000," Purdy became concerned that the black substance was something other than mildew and that it was adversely affecting her health because she was experiencing respiratory problems, i.e., "a lot of congestion, a lot of sputum, a lot of deep wheezing and coughing, and things of that nature."

And in light of this evidence, the trial court properly denied Ambling's motion for a directed verdict on this ground, notwithstanding inconsistent or even contradictory evidence. See Bailey, supra; Mead v. Sheffield, 278 Ga. 268, 269, 601 S.E.2d 99 (2004) (instructing that the word shall is generally construed as a word of command). Several property managers promised Purdy that Ambling would respond to her problem, which promises might have diverted her focus from the hazard.28 But because Ambling did not stop the buildup, Purdy took it upon herself to determine its content and source. In Case No. Ambling contends that the trial court erred by failing to exclude Medina's and Lieberman's expert opinions, arguing that the evidence was inadmissible under OCGA 24-9-67.1.
