Limitation issues can be complex legal matters and it is essential to obtain advice from an experienced West Virginia medical malpractice attorney. An action for personal injury arising out of medical malpractice accrues on the date of injury and must be commenced within two years of either the date when the injury occurred or the date when the claimant discovered or reasonably should have discovered the injury but no such action may be commenced more than ten years after the date of injury.
A claimant under the age of ten must bring suit within two years of the date of the injury or prior to the claimant's twelfth birthday, whichever provides the longer period.
Wrongful death actions must be brought by a West Virginia medical malpractice attorney within two years from the date of death including actions for medical malpractice resulting in death.
If you are the innocent victim of a clinical mistake then you may be able to recover compensation. For free advice from a West Virginia 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.
