Frequently Asked Questions about Medical Malpractice in New Jersey
What is medical malpractice?
Medical malpractice refers to a type of personal injury claim that arises when a health care provider, such as a hospital, doctor, nurse, or other professional causes injury to a patient through a negligent or reckless action or failure to act. Medical malpractice may occur in the diagnosis of a health condition, treatment of that condition, post-discharge care and instructions, or general health management for the patient.
What is the statute of limitations on medical malpractice?
Under New Jersey law, a medical malpractice lawsuit must be filed within two years of the date that your medical malpractice cause of action “accrues”. Typically this means two years from the date on which you received negligent or reckless treatment. However, in many cases, a medical malpractice claim accrues when the harmed patient discovers (or should through reasonable diligence discover) that they have been injured and that their injury was caused by negligent medical care. In addition, children who are harmed by medical malpractice typically have two years from their 18th birthday to file suit, except in cases involving birth injuries where a lawsuit must be filed before a child’s 13th birthday.
