Depends: Generally, the statute of limitations is two years after the injury is discovered. However, some states—such as florida—have a further restriction:" …unless there is fraud, concealment, or misrepresentation, under no circumstances may a healthcare provider be sued for medical malpractice more than 4 years after the actual incident of malpractice." —>.

Check with state: Need to check with your state laws and it usually is different for adults v children.
