How long do I have to file a lawsuit in a Tennessee medical malpractice case?
A: You have one (1) year from the date you are injured to file a medical malpractice suit in Tennessee. This time limitation in which you have to file suit is called the Statute of Limitation. If the injury is not discovered when the medical negligence occurs, the Statute of Limitation is one (1) year from the date you discovered or should have discovered the medical malpractice. In any event, the lawsuit must be filed within three (3) years of the negligent act or omission. This three (3) year time limitation is called the Statute of Repose. An exception to the three (3) year Statute of Repose is in the case of the medical provider's fraudulent concealment of their wrongdoing. Statute of Limitation and Statute of Repose issues can be complicated. If you think you may have been a victim of medical malpractice in Tennessee, it is very important to act very quickly to protect your and your families' rights.
