How long after the medical malpractice took place must I file a claim?
The rules that determine when you can file a lawsuit are referred to as the statute of limitations. The amount of time by which you must file a claim varies by state and circumstance. In most cases, the amount of time begins when the medical malpractice took place, although sometimes it begins when the claimant discovers that medical malpractice was responsible for his or her injury. Medical malpractice lawsuits are among the more complex and time-consuming lawsuits.
