QUESTION
What is the statute of limitations in NJ for a wrongful death / medical malpractice lawsuit?
Asked on Feb 25th, 2015 on Wrongful Death - New Jersey
More details to this question:
My husband was in 5 consecutive facilities, all of whom failed to diagnose him (specifically) and treat him. He was sent to less and less acute facilities (over my protestations), and died after being in the last facility (sub-acute) for only 5 days. I have great insurance coverage, but the insurance company was also complicit. I am worried that I waited too long to sue. What is my time limit?

I think you would have at least two years to bring this litigation, and that would be from the time you knew that there was a possibility of malpractice. You should consult with a malpractice attorney and I can help you with that.
