Answer
Dear XXXXXXXXXXXXXX,
In general the statute of limitations is two years from the date you first discovered the medical error.
One example is if there was a sponge left inside you during a surgery in 2000, but you don't find out about it until another procedure in 2007 - then you have 2 years from 2007 to file suit.
I wish you the best of luck.
