Most medical malpractice claims in New York must be filed within 2 ½ years of the date the medical provider’s negligence occurred. For birth injury suits, New York laws allow for some special considerations that can extend the deadline to file the suit up to 10 years after a child is born. Determining whether you can still file your suit can be complicated. Experienced birth injury attorneys can help you consider all the relevant factors related to your suit and your ability to file. When you consult with our New York birth injury lawyers, they will discuss all the important details of when and how to file your suit. More importantly, our attorneys know how to fight doctors and medical providers who will try to get your suit dismissed for various reasons, including the statute of limitations.
