How does a discovery statute affect the statute of limitations?
Some clients who have called our law firm had the surgery as far back as the year 2000. We start doing an analysis of where that person lives and what statute of limitations is applicable in that state as soon as they contact us. Then we look to see if their state has a discovery statute – which generally means that their statute of limitations may not begin to run until they knew or, by taking reasonable efforts, should have known the connection between the pain pump and the injury that they have. Prescribed a shoulder pain pump post surgery and diagnosed with PAGCL? You may have a lawsuit. Click here, for a top rated law firm to evaluate your legal rights.
