What Is Medical Malpractice?
Doctors commit medical malpractice if they fall short of the acceptable standard of treatment, whether care was withheld for an unreasonable amount of time or not done at all. While the legal definition is consistent nationwide, Pennsylvania law differs significantly. Medical malpractice lawsuits in the state are not limited by a cap in damages.
Plaintiffs are required to file suits within two years of the act or failure to provide care leads to injury or death. Minors have two years from their 18th birthday to sue for medical malpractice or hospital negligence. Emancipated minors must adhere to the two-year statute.
