How Long Do You Have to File a Medical Malpractice Case?

In this episode of Law Call, the attorneys explain the time limits for filing a medical malpractice case. In most situations, a lawsuit must be filed within two years from the date of the alleged malpractice or from when the issue was discovered. They also clarify that filing a complaint with a medical board is different from filing a lawsuit in court, and both processes follow different rules.

The attorneys emphasize the importance of acting quickly to protect your rights and preserving the statute of limitations. They also recommend speaking with a lawyer experienced in medical malpractice, as these cases can be complex and require specific legal knowledge.
