Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in Pennsylvania

Re: medical malpractice

The Statute of Limitations in PA is 2 years from the date of injury.

There is a �discovery rule� under which the time is extended if you were unable to know of the injury.

This rule may apply in your case.

Personally, I would not get involved in this case, but another attorney MAY, so I encourage you to begin contacting attorneys immediately if you believe you gave a case.

Re: medical malpractice

Generally, the statute is two years, which would appear to preclude your claim.

Nonetheless, you may want to contact an attorney anyway to see if your claim falls within an exception like the "discovery rule," which keeps the statute at bay until you discover (or should have reasonably discovered) the negligence.
