What does this mean?

"5 years ultimate repose and abrogation"

Usually the statute of limitations for personal injury (malpractice is a kind of personal injury) is two years. However, medical malpractice cases are complex and it is not often easy to establish exactly when the injury took place or when it was recognized that there even was an injury. You need to speak to an attorney in your state. Most personal injury attorneys will take your case on a contingency basis if they think you have a chance of winning. Word of advice....when looking for an attorney to prosecute a medical malpractice case you'll want to go out of your town or immediate area to find an attorney. Most attorneys are reluctant to sue doctors and medical establishments in the towns where they themselves practice.

2 years form the date of the injury or 5 year statute of ultimate repose and abrogation.

Fraud in all its manifestations, in most states, has a 4-year Statute of Limitations. Anybody can sue, but to get a lawyer to take up your case will require some serious money.
