California medical malpractice attorney Dr. Bruce Fagel explains the nuances behind an individual state’s statute of limitations. Under our federal constitution, each of the 50 states have their own laws for certain areas, including all types of personal injury claims, of which medical malpractice is one subset. Dr. Fagel explains that the reason for these statutes are to bring medical malpractice cases to court in a timely manner, to avoid lost evidence or mistaken memories, and essentially to speed up the process. It’s imperative for any attorney to be aware of the statute of limitations that apply to a particular state.
