Limitation matters are comlex legal issues and it is essential to take advice from a Georgia medical malpractice attorney. Georgia has a two-year statute of limitations running from the date of injury or death, and a five-year statute of "ultimate repose and abrogation." Foreign object cases may be brought any time within one year of discovering the object.
These limits apply to minors, except that the statute of limitations will never run prior to the claimant's seventh birthday and the statute of repose will never run until the claimant's tenth birthday. If the negligent act involves a foreign object, the action must be brought within one year of discovering the object. A claimant's insanity tolls the running of the statute of limitations.
If you are the innocent victim of a medical mistake then you may be able to recover compensation. For free advice from a Georgia medical malpractice attorney without obligation just complete the contact form and a member of The Association of Trial Lawyers of America will telephone you immediately to discuss your compensation claim without further obligation.
