Medical Malpractice Statute of Limitations The statute of limitations for medical malpractice cases, or the amount of time in which you have to file suit for medical malpractice, varies from state to state. However, every state does impose some statute of limitations, so your case must be brought within that time period.

This is called the discovery rule and states usually give a person a certain number of years from the date the discovery was made to file a lawsuit. → Read More
