Do I have a Medical Malpractice case?

The short answer is contact an medical malpractice attorney in GA and run the question by him. Generally speaking, equitable exceptions to statutes of limitations exist in case law but not in a statute of repose. A common equitable exception in medical malpractice cases is the discovery rule, which holds that the statute does not start tolling on a claim until a client knew, or should have known that a doctor did something wrong. I don't know if GA's statute of repose would allow for such an exception. My gut tells me it would not, but ask a local guy who knows for sure.  Below are some articles you may find helpful.  They are written for a New Jersey audience (where I practice) but the ideas discussed in these articles usually apply in most other jurisdictions as well.
