Statutes of limitations for medical malpractice cases are set by state law and generally range from one to seven years. The window of opportunity for filing a lawsuit may expand, depending on circumstances, such as whether or not the injured party was a minor at the time of injury and when the individual learned of the malpractice. A claim filed after the statute of limitations has passed will more than likely not be allowed to continue.
Therefore, if you or someone you know has suffered from medical malpractice, or would simply like more information, please contact us.
