Re: Brain Injury at Birth

The statute of limitations begins to run when one learns of the injury or reasonably should have learned of the injury. In your case the statute probably has not run. However, you should not wait any longer before you take action, since there will be legal arguments of when you reasonably could have learned of the injury. You are welcome to call for a free consultation.
