Limitation issues are complex legal mattrers and it is essential to obtain advice from an experienced Washington medical malpractice attorney. A medical malpractice action must be brought within three years of the act or omission alleged to have caused the injury or one year after the discovery of the alleged negligent act or omission, whichever period expires later. In no event may a medical malpractice action be brought later than eight years after the date of the alleged act or omission.
The limitations period is tolled upon proof of fraud, intentional concealment, or the presence of a foreign object in the claimant. Claims of minors are treated the same as those of adults but the statute is tolled until the minor reaches age eighteen, at which time the knowledge of the parent or guardian is imputed to him. A disability will not toll the limitations period unless it existed at the time the cause of action accrued.
An action for wrongful death must be brought by a Washington medical malpractice attorney within three years after the decedent's death and is applied in cases of medical malpractice resulting in death.
If you are the innocent victim of a clinical mistake then you may be able to recover compensation.
