Statute of Limitations for New Jersey medical malpractice

Posted on Thursday, June 24th, 2010 at 8:20 am    

The Statute of Limitations is the period of time within which a patient can file a medical malpractice suit. The Statute of Limitations in New Jersey is 2 years after the injury or disease occurred.

In other words, patients who believe they have a medical malpractice case may be required to file it within 2 years. In some cases, patients may file their case after the 2 year deadline. These cases typically involve injuries or diseases that were not discovered until a later date.

If you or anyone you know has questions about a medical malpractice case, contact the New Jersey medical malpractice attorneys of Levinson Axelrod, P.A., at 800-346-5529.
