What is the statute of limitations on hospital negligence lawsuits?

Steven E. North

The statute of limitations in hospital negligence is ordinarily 2-1/2 years for medical errors. There is an exception if it's a municipal hospital, in which event there is a 90-day time limit within which a claim has to be filed, a year and 90 days within which the suit has to be filed. And if the negligence really isn't malpractice but is ordinary negligence -- a slip on the floor or whatever -- then a 3-year statute of limitations would apply. I'm Steven North.

Is there a statute of limitations on cancer misdiagnosis lawsuits?

Steven E. North

The statute of limitations in New York for all medical malpractice lawsuits -- with some exception that we won't go into -- is 2-1/2 years. But in cancer cases it's tricky because if somebody had a mammogram, for example, two years ago and didn't know that there was a lesion on there -- that there was cancer on there that wasn't picked up -- and then they find out about it just close to that statute of limitations, they have to put that in suit right away. New York does not have a discovery rule that from the time of discovery the statute runs. It runs from the last treatment by the doctor, and one has to be specially careful in cancer cases. I'm Steven (sp?) North. I specialize in medical malpractice litigation. My office is located in a townhouse in the Upper East Side of Manhattan. We welcome your call.
