In Indiana, a medical malpractice lawsuit must generally be filed within two years from the date of the malpractice incident. However, there are key exceptions to this rule that may extend the time frame in which a victim can pursue legal action. One such exception applies when a patient had no reason to know malpractice had occurred. For example, if a medical scan detected a mass but the patient was never informed, the two-year period may not begin until the patient actually learns of the missed diagnosis. Another exception involves a failure to diagnose a condition over an extended period. In such cases, the statute of limitations may start from the last date the patient saw the original doctor who failed to make the diagnosis.
While these exceptions can provide additional time, it is crucial to act quickly. Gathering evidence, securing expert medical opinions, and building a strong case take time. The sooner you seek legal guidance, the better your chances of securing the compensation you deserve.
