Re: malpractice
You should immediately get the case reviewed by a competent med mal lawyer. And you need to have that attorney send an notice of intent to sue to the hospital and the ER Physicians that saw your husband. The Statute of limitations issue is complicated since generally, with some exceptions and special rules, the one year statute begins to run from the time the injured party discovered or reasonably should have discovered the injury and its negligent cause. I think a good portion of the case can be salvaged, though, from the potential SOL problem.
Re: malpractice
Your attorney would need to find a doctor that is willing to testify that your husbands problems are the result of actual malpractice and not just a bad result. There are no guarantees in medicine. Your husband may not be a victim of malpractice. Good luck.
