Re: Malpractice Statute
The answer is a definite maybe. In order to fully evaluate this, I would need to speak to you directly. There are exceptions to the Statute of Limitations (SOL) and I will not go through a full explanation here. However, if you learn of the malpractice or injury at a time after the event, then it is possible for the SOL to be "tolled". Each inquiry is very fact specific and law specific, so the best way to determine if this may be the case is contact an attorney to do a quick evaluation. I would be happy to discuss with you. Please feel free to call me, at no charge at 800-34-NJ-LAW. Best wishes.
