What is the Statute of Limitations for Medical Malpractice Cases?
In general, you have 1 year from the date you are injured to file a medical malpractice suit in Tennessee for claims under state law, or you may lose your rights. If the injury is not discovered in that period, the period of limitation is 1 year from the date of discovery. In any event, the action must be brought within 3 years of the wrongful act or omission, absent fraudulent concealment. Statute of limitations issues can be complicated. If you have been a victim of medical malpractice in Tennessee or elsewhere, act as quickly as possible to protect yourself.
