We understand that healthcare professionals nearly always do the best job they can. We also know that mistakes happen. Whether a doctor or anesthesiologist was blatantly negligent, or a surgical error was just an honest mistake, victims who have suffered serious injury or loss may be entitled to compensation. Medical malpractice liability insurance is designed to serve as a safety net for patients whose health is made worse, or for families who have lost loved ones, as a result of medical mistakes.
Medical Malpractice Statute of Limitations
The time limit for filing suit in a medical negligence case is usually two years from the date of the negligent conduct. If the victim is a child, the time limit does not begin to run until that child is 18.
