A. res judicata

D. statute of limitations
The statute of limitations sets the time period in which a party may be sued for negligence. The Good Samaritan statute protects individuals who act in an emergency. Release of tortfeasor is a technical defense in an already filed lawsuit. Res judicata means the claim cannot be retried, and res ipsa loquitur is the doctrine of common knowledge.
