Limitation issues can be complex legal matters and it is essential to take advice from an experienced Wisconsin medical malpractice attorney. All medical malpractice actions for personal injury or death be filed within three years from the date of injury. A claimant may bring an action for medical malpractice within one year from the date of discovery, subject to a maximum limit of five years from the date of the negligent act. The five-year limit has been held to be unconstitutional. Foreign object cases must be brought within one year from the date of discovery or three years from the date of the incident.
Actions brought by a Wisconsin medical malpractice attorney or on behalf of a minor are subject to the above-noted limitation, or such actions must be brought by the time the minor reaches ten years of age, whichever is later. For claimants who are disabled by reason of insanity, an action may be commenced two years from the date the disability has been lifted, with a maximum of five years from the date of the negligent act.
If you are the innocent victim of a clinical mistake then you may be able to recover compensation. For free advice from a Wisconsin 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.
