I'm not sure. . . maybe check a local hospital and they may have documents associated with that. Not sure if they will let you look though. . . but it's worth the try. Good luck!! :)

3 Years from date of injury or 1 year from date of discovery, whichever occurs first except for foreign objects where SOL runs from when object is, or should have been, discovered. Infants under 6 have 3 years maximum, or prior to age 8, to commence actions (unless tolled by fraud or collusion of parent or guardian and defendant's insurer or health care provider in failure to bring action for minor as a result of professional negligence). SOL tolled for fraud or intentional concealment of presence of non-therapeutic, non-diagnostic foreign body in person of plaintiff. This 3 year SOL is an exception to the 1 year wrongful death statute. 5 Year SOL in elder abuse cases.
Caps:
$ 250,000 limit for non-economic damages.

Not an expert, just found a website:
Statute of Limitations
Medical malpractice actions must be commenced within 3 years from the date of the injury, or one year from the date the plaintiff discovers or reasonably should have discovered the injury, whichever occurs first. If the medical malpractice action is based upon the presence of a foreign object found inside the plaintiff's body, the statute of limitations does not start to run until the plaintiff discovers, or should have discovered, the object. The periods of limitation for medical malpractice apply to minors six years of age and older. For medical malpractice actions involving minors below the age of six, the action must be filed within three years of the date of the injury or before the minor's eighth birthday, whichever period is greater.
