The statute of limitations governing medical negligence actions is one year from when you became suspicious of wrongdoing and harm; your time period is not extended by the treatment you need to correct the harm. Your time period of one year is not based on the treatment you receive to correct the harm. If you believe that you have a claim you should immediately contact an attorney and not wait. I do not take medical negligence claims and limit myself to dental negligence claims which have the same statute of limitations.
