You may have a case, but you need to act fast because the statute of limitations for medical malpractice is 2 1/2 years. The medical records of the family member need to be immediately reviewed, and only that will give the answer to whether there is a viable medical malpractice case. Not only must there have been a mistake, but you must prove but for that mistake, the patient would have not become ill.
