Limitation issues are complex legal matters and it is essential to take advice from an experienced Oregon medical malpractice attorney. An action must be commenced within two years from the date the injury is discovered or in the exercise of reasonable care should have been discovered. Except in cases of fraud or misrepresentation, an action must also be commenced within five years from the date of the treatment or omission. The statute of limitations is tolled during the time a claimant is within 18 years of age or insane but the tolling provision cannot extend the statute for more than one year after the disability is lifted nor can it extend the five-year statute of repose.
The state wrongful death statute of limitations applies to actions for death caused by medical malpractice and requires that an Oregon medical malpractice attorney must bring an action within three years after the injury causing the death is discovered (or reasonably should have been discovered) by the decedent, his representative, or a beneficiary, but in no case more than three years after the date of death or outside the five-year medical malpractice statute of repose.
If you are the innocent victim of a medical mistake then you may be able to recover compensation.
