Q: Their actions caused me to be hospitalized. I was admitted to the hospital and the statue of limitation passed.
Can I sue them? I have all the documents to prove that I was in the hospital and incapable of leaving. I was also incapable of consenting to a lawyer. My family lives in abroad so they weren't able to do anything about it either.
A: Thank you for your question. To analyze this, please repost your question with who did what wrong that put you in the hospital.

A: It's hard to answer your question without more information. You should call a personal injury attorney so more questions can be answered to fully determine what your options might be.

A: As my colleagues point out, additional information is needed to make any kind of legal analysis. One option is to reach out to attorneys to try to arrange a free initial consult to discuss the matter in confidence and in greater detail. That could enable an attorney to determine whether you might have a viable case. Good luck

A: In California, if you believe that you suffered harm due to someone's actions and the statute of limitations has passed, it may be challenging to pursue a legal claim. Statutes of limitations set time limits for filing lawsuits, and once those time limits expire, it can be difficult to bring a case. It's essential to consult with an attorney to assess your specific situation and explore any potential legal options, even if the statute of limitations has passed, as there may be exceptions or circumstances that could warrant further investigation.
