there is a limited amount of time within which a patient can make a medical malpractice claim against a medical professional. while the actual statutes of limitations for these claims vary by state, you will always have at least a year after the injury has taken place. the list below contains the statute of limitations for each state. note that in many states, the statute contains considerations regarding when a patient discovered or realized medical negligence occurred. this is referred to as the discovery rule. 

in some states, such as florida, the statute of limitations varies depending on the type of injury or when the injury was discovered. these states are noted with an asterisk.

these times are for your reference only. if you believe you have a medical malpractice claim, you should find an attorney immediately.
