Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in Louisiana
Time limitations
How long does one have to file an action against a Hospital and doctor thereof in reference to medical malpractice and/or indifference to ones medical needs? Also, is there a certain time limit to give them notice that one plans to file on them? Thank you very much.

Re: Time limitations
The basic period is one year following the malpractice, or the discovery of the malpractice, but no longer than 3 years after the procedure.
