Yes. In general, many states have a two-year statute of limitations on medical malpractice cases, meaning if you fail to file your suit during those two years, you will not be able to ever bring a lawsuit. The statute of limitations may begin running at the time of the injury or at the time the injury is discovered. An attorney in your area can tell you more about the applicable statute of limitations in your jurisdiction and how it may affect your birth injury case.
