If the injured patient was child under the age of six, the lawsuit may be filed any time before the child’s eighth birthday. For example, if negligent misdiagnosis leads to the progression of illness with long latency period, victim may not even know of the medical negligence before the limitations period has expired. The courts expect that patient will file an Indiana medical malpractice claim as soon as “reasonable,” and they do not provide any additional time to file. While the strict, two-year statute of limitations has kept many worthy claims out of court, frivolous medical malpractice claims still find their way before Indiana judges.
