How long can it be to sue a doctor. I have been trying to find out what was the matter with me since about 1990 and i finally got a diag. last year.

There is a time limitation for filing a medical malpractice lawsuit, known as the Statute of Limitations. The Statute of Limitations varies by state and depends on the circumstances surrounding your case. In many states, the time limit is a certain amount of time from the date the injury occurred, or when you discovered the injury occurred. I recommend contacting a medical malpractice attorney in your area who can help you determine the Statute for your case. -Steve Levin & Perconti325 N.
