Re: malpractice suit

This is not a simple question!!

The fact that you are asking it means that you need to speak to an attorney ASAP.

The basic rule is two years from the date of occurrence =

BUT exceptions may apply

- minors

- when you discovered the injury.

ALSO there are times that you need to take action sooner (suing the US government).

Call an attorney TODAY
