Limitation issues are complex legal matters and it is essential to take advice from a specialist Missouri medical malpractice attorney. Legal action must be brought within two years from the date of the occurrence however, if the claim involves a foreign object, the claimant is allowed two years from the date of discovering the alleged negligence to bring an action, but in no case shall an action for medical malpractice be brought more than ten years from the date of the alleged act. The portion of the statute providing that a minor under the age of ten has until his twelfth birthday to bring his cause of action and providing no protection for minors over twelve has been held constitutionally invalid.
An action for wrongful death must be brought by a Missouri medical malpractice attorney within three years from the decedent's death. An action for wrongful death premised on medical malpractice is governed by the three-year wrongful death limitations period and not the two-year medical malpractice limitations period.
If you are the innocent victim of a medical mistake then you may be able to recover compensation.
