Q. How long can I wait to file a malpractice suit in Tennessee.

30 December 2020

A: The 1 year statute of limitations for a medical malpractice claim in Tennessee is extended 120 days but you must send notice of potential claim to all potential defendants within the 1 year statute of limitations. The notice of potential claim must comply with the statutory requirements or your lawsuit may be dismissed. Also, you must wait at least 60 days to file a lawsuit after you give notice of a potential claim or your lawsuit may be dismissed. BOTTOM LINE … contact a Tennessee medical malpractice lawyer because the law is designed to help the medical care providers, not injured patients.
