Can I claim for medical negligence after 20 years? Is there a time limit on suing for medical malpractice?

Louisville Injury Lawyer › FAQs › Can I claim for medical negligence after 20 years? Is there a time limit on suing for medical malpractice?

You cannot claim medical negligence after 20 years. In Kentucky the statute of limitations on a medical malpractice case is one year from the date of the injury. This timeframe is extended if you don’t know about the injury (like finding a foreign object in your body 2 years down the line). There are exceptions. Consult with a Kentucky medical malpractice or personal injury lawyer right away if you have been harmed by medical negligence.
