Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in Alabama

Statue of limitations

What is the statue of limitations on a medical negligence issue?

I went to the emergency room in June 2004, hurting like maybe heart problems. I was x-rayed and given the diagnosis of my bowels being backed up, was told to drink a certain type of medicine that would clean me out. I did, no cleaning out.

August 2004, went to dr. xrayed and blood work done, diagnosed with germ cell tumor in my chest. I underwent chemotherapy, and major surgery.

Re: Statue of limitations

the statute is two years from the event. if you could use the August date you should talk to someone at once.
