Q: Question on a malpractice claim for a double stroke post-surgery service-connected injury date February 5th 2018
Facts my father had a TBI affecting his brain patient patient was unaware of what was even going on the whole time I believe law states you have a year and also I'm assuming from the time you knew of incident which is a malpractice lawsuit claim that I am pursuing in the state of Kentucky I'm aware of it being 2 years so due to the extraordinary events that happened is there any exception to file a motion on this matter that is my question
A:
Only a Kentucky attorney could advise on statutes of limitations, as they are governed by state law. However, you await a response for three weeks. At this point, reach out to Kentucky attorneys to discuss. Most attorneys who handle such cases offer free initial consults. As a GENERAL matter, some states do suspend the running of the statute for factors such as infancy, disability, discovery in med mal cases, among other issues. Reach out to Kentucky attorneys and ask their opinion - provide details about the TBI - that could be the most effective way to determine your options and put the issue to rest. Good luck
