Re: two wrong surgerys in the military
It depends.
A very important factor is WHEN was the injury discovered. You have one year from the discovery of the injury caused by med.malpractice to file a claim. Another factor is that although the Doctor today can say that the original surgerys were the wrong type, were they the wrong type in 1989?
Lastly, did the medical treatment received in 1989 fall below the standard of care among professional doctors in the area at that time as to be considered negligent?
The answers to the above questions will determine if you have a cause of action.
