Is there a statute of limitations on birth injury claims?
Yes. Medical malpractice lawsuits, which include birth injury claims, must be filed within two years of the discovery of your child’s injury. The “clock” usually begins running when your child is first diagnosed with a medical complication related to his or her injury.
If you are considering filing a claim against the medical workers who injured your child, it is important to get started as soon as possible. Two years may seem like a long time, but building a strong case can be a long process. Contact Philadelphia birth injury lawyers Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C. today at 215-238-1130.
