The answer is probably not. Cerebral Palsy legal cases are subject to a time constraint called a statute of limitations. Statutes of limitations set a specific time frame for bring a legal case after which any legal claim is barred. Statutes of limitations are sometimes very complicated and can vary based on state, the age of the person who was harmed by the negligence, the type of entity that provider the healthcare, and more. The only way to be sure of your deadline is to contact a qualified personal injury attorney.
