This is the eighth article of our series discussing practical and evidentiary issues in medical malpractice. Each article will examine recent medical malpractice case law and focus on the practical and evidentiary issues within them. The goal is to provide some useful insight into the obstacles that occurred in hopes that future cases can adapt and develop new ways to overcome these challenges. In this article, Andrea Donaldson explores the issue of discoverability in medical negligence cases and what factors the courts have found to postpone the running of the limitation period.
