How long do I have to file a medical lawsuit?

mrtwondo
Actions for medical malpractice must be filed within two years of the injury, or within six months of discovery to a maximum of six years following the date of the act or omission giving rise to the injury. For medical malpractice cases involving a minor under eight years of age, the statute begins to run on the minor's 10th birthday or within the two-year medical malpractice statute of limitations, whichever time period is greater. Where a minor under 13 suffers an injury to the reproductive system, the statute begins to run on the minor's 15th birthday or within the general two-year statute of limitations, whichever time period is greater.
