QUESTION
Can I sue the hospital or is it too late to sue if I had a head injury but ER didn’t performed a CT scan?
Asked on Feb 25th, 2014 on Personal Injury - Idaho
More details to this question:
Back in 2005, I suffered a head-to-head collision that resulted in me losing consciousness and a broken nose. I went to the ER and they treated this broken nose but never performed a CT scan. That same year, I began to experience mood swings and started suffering from depression.

The statute of limitations would seem to have expired, but there are many exceptions. If you can find one, see a med mal lawyer.

There is a 3 year statute of limitation on negligence. so if you were of full age when this happened you are many years short. Why did you wait 9 years to raise the issue.

It's to late to do so.

More than likely it is too late as there is a 2 year statute of limitations. However, you may want to consult a medical malpractice lawyer anyway to see if you may fall within any exceptions.
