Re: one or two counts?
Why is this significant to you? First, in order to have any claim you need to prove negligence. For each act of negligence [count] you have a two year statute of limitations. I hope this helps answer your query. Do not wait for the last moment!

There are two counts, assuming you can prove liability on each count.
