I agree with Mr. Wagner's recommendations. YOU SHOULD SPEAK WITH A MEDICAL MALPRACTICE ATTORNEY IMMEDIATELY!
Generally, a claimant has two years to initiate a medical malpractice action. However, there are often issues regarding the date that the clock should begin running. You can also extend the staute of limitations by 90 days by filing a petition with the appropriate court and by paying a small filing fee.
I would be happy to discuss this matter with you further. Please feel free to contact me.

medical malpractice is an incredibly difficult area of the law. A court has called it a malpractice trap. It is imposible to give you any maeningful advice about the statute of limitations without knowing a lot more facts.
Feel free to give me a call. Generally you have 2 years from the death, but med mal statutes of limitations are terribly difficult to calculatu need to speak directly with a lawyer.
