Re: Statute of limitations
I assume you mean a medical malpractice case. It is pretty complicated but basically it is one year from discovery of the injury and it negligent cause or 3 years from the date of injury, whichever is sooner. Get the facts to a qualified lawyer to see if you have a SOL problem, as there are exceptions to the rule.
