The standard statute of limitations for personal injury, malpractice, medical negligence is typically 2 years. When the injury is to the brain, the person often does not grasp the extent of their injury at only 2 years. It takes some healing for that to happen. I am suggesting that the existing legislation be re-examined bearing this information in mind. I consulted an attorney a few weeks past the two year mark and still knew nothing close to what I know now. Regardless, I was too late. When we excuse negligence, malpractice or liability for a brain injury, we place the burden and financial responsibility for survivors on " the system" many survivors become "single" on Medicare, Medicaid, ssi, ssd food stamps,subsidized housing. Constituents would be furious to know that they are footing the bill rather than a corporation or insurance company taking responsibility. So perhaps there should be exceptions, or discovery clauses for certain situations!
