Since the laws of all 50 individual states are not uniform, to answer this question would require detailed research of the statutes of all 50 states. Perhaps the questioner might care to do their own research at their leisure.

They differ wildly. With some states offering only a year to file and others upwards of five. Most states-but not all-also allow for a provision known as the "discovery rule." The discovery rule allows for the statute of limitations to start from the date of discovery of the illness or injury caused by medical malpractice. The article below goes into more detail about statutes of limitations and the discovery rule.

Each state has set the statute of limitations for filing a suit at for medical malpractice. It can vary from 2 to 6 years. That will be from the time of the injury or when it was discovered. There can be situations that will toll it for a longer period.

In California, it is 4 years from date of service or date of last payment. I do not know for sure about the other states, but many have 4 years. I think I saw 6 years on one state.
