The statute of limitations can be as short as two years from the date the injury was discovered, with additional limits that may apply depending on the case. In some situations, these deadlines can pass before families even realize what went wrong.
Waiting too long can mean losing the right to seek accountability and compensation altogether.

Who Is Liable in a Nursing Home Negligence Case?
