2 Answers from Attorneys
In Illinois medical malpractice lawsuits you have 2 years from the date you knew or should have known of the malpractice or injury, but no more than 4 years from the date it happened.
The statute of limitations can be shorter than 2 years for cases against state or county agencies. Generally you have 1 year from the date you knew or should have known malpractice might have been committed/injury.
Feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss further.
Dear Sirs,
The statute of limitations is typically two (2) years from the date of malpractice; however, there are exceptions.
