Victim of
Medical Malpractice?

The time limit to file a lawsuit varies depending on the nature of your case and the damages incurred. In most cases, the time limit is four years. In a case of negligence, the window to file a claim is only two years (mostly in cases of medical malpractice and wrongful death).

There are also exceptions that may extend the statute of limitations. One exception is damage that is discovered much later, and this applies to cases of medical malpractice related to infertility, where they become aware of injuries when planning to have children. We recommend that you consult a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible to be aware of the time limit regarding your specific injury or lawsuit.

Acting quickly in medical malpractice cases is essential because of the legal deadlines, known as statutes of limitations, that limit the time you have to file a claim. If you wait too long, you could lose your right to seek compensation altogether. Additionally, important evidence such as medical records and witness testimonies can be lost or become unreliable over time. Early action also helps address any ongoing medical complications caused by the malpractice and can provide the financial relief you need to cover medical bills and other expenses. By moving swiftly, you can strengthen your case, preserve critical evidence, and gain peace of mind knowing that your legal rights are being protected.

It can be challenging to estimate the costs of your damages in a personal injury case because some compensable losses could be biased, while pain and suffering and psychological damages may not be considered. You can turn to our team with experience in personal injury damages, as only an experienced attorney can analyze your medical information, rehabilitation, out-of-pocket costs, property damage, loss of income due to your recovery, as well as pain and suffering.
