Medical Malpractice
Filing Deadline
2 Years
from discovery
Medical malpractice claims must be filed within 2 years from the date you discovered (or should have discovered) the injury. This “discovery rule” is critical because many medical errors are not immediately apparent. There is also an absolute outer limit regardless of discovery.
Calculate Your Specific Deadline
Discovery rule exceptions may apply if you did not know about the injury immediately.
