    Question Time Limitation Exceptions

    My question involves medical malpractice in the state of: Arizona

    What if you do not realize the medical implications of the medical error until 5 years after the error is made ?

    Is there an exception to the statut of limitations when that medical miss judgement causes injury and illness as a direct cause of the doctors actions 5 years down the line?

    I would expect that it depends upon the nature of the injury and the details of your medical file.

    This is a question best posed to an attorney, with your medical file in hand.

    Thank you but that is why I am asking. I don't want to waste more time trying to find an attorney that will talk to me unless I know if exceptions are ever made. I've been that route before and even though I was in the right if an attorney does not believe it is equitable it is very dissapointing when you know you are right but can find no one that will help you.

    I know the statute in Arizona is 2 years. I was caused injury 5 years ago but did not become aware that I was injured until last year and not aware it was irreversable and that I should have been warned until now.

    I'm hoping to get solid advice on whether or not I will be beating my head against a wall if I try to pursue this.

    Condemned and disabled for the rest of my life... I can no longer work. I've had to hire someone to help me with day to day activities. I live in constant fear in regards to my questionable health. I need to either do something now or drop it and deal with it. If restitution is available I want it to be made.
