When someone is injured as a direct result of a medial practitioner’s negligence, the injured has the right to file a personal injury lawsuit against the legally liable party. Medical Malpractice Claims are filed in a variety of cases, including but not limited to:

• Drug Errors
• Misdiagnosis
• Nursing Negligence
• Surgical Errors
• Foreign Object Left In the Body
• Hospital Negligence
• Emergency Room Errors
• Delayed Diagnosis
• Brain Injuries

When someone files Medical Malpractice claim, they can seek compensation for their medical bills, pain and suffering, lost income, and other damages. But, in order to gain access to much-needed compensation, the injured party must file a claim within the state’s statute of limitations.

Otherwise, the injured loses their right to compensation permanently.

Each state has its own statute of limitations, which requires that a lawsuit be filed with the court within a certain time period. Under West Virginia penal code section §55-7B-4 the statute of limitations for medical malpractice claims is 2 years.
