Generally, you have 2 years from the date that you knew or should have known of the medical negligence; but possibly as long as 4 years, and in some instances, even to 7 years. This means that your lawsuit must be filed in the correct court within the correct statute of limitations, or else your case may be forever barred. This is a difficult area of the law, so please consult with an medical malpractice attorney regarding the specific facts of your case.
