Q: Is it too late to sue the Stretch Zone for causing my S1 Joint Dysfunction?
I went to the Stretch Zone due to feeling like I needed to be stretched or aligned in March 2023. I informed him that I had one hip higher than the other. He adjusted me and then pulled both legs simultaneously. This left me feeling lopsided and within 2-3 days I felt extreme pain in my lower back. I have been seeing a Chiropractor and paying copays and endless treatments and no relief is in site. I'm a paralegal and work sitting all day so this has completely altered my life in every capacity. It is only in September 2023 that the Chiropractor is saying this is a S1 joint dysfunction which causes similar pain. I now have to get further treatment. Is it too late to hold Stretch Zone liable?
A: The deadline for most medical malpractice in California is 1 year. This defendant is not likely a health care provider and the deadline would be two years.
A: And, yes, you have a potential case.
