Filing a medical malpractice case after 3 years

Hi all,

I had put a question here regarding an option to sue a hospital in DHCC area for a surgery that's gone wrong and caused bowel perforation, infection,...

Now, 3 years have passed since the surgery time, July 2017. Any chance I can still start an action against the hospital?

I know it is only 3 years to take an action.

Thanks in advance!

Dear client,

Good day!

Actually, though there's a time limitation period of 3 years for filing the medical malpractice cases, however, if you prepare a report of the effect of the surgery and details of the surgery, we can file the case in the Public Prosecution and request for solution.

There's a possibility that the Prosecutor or Judge may accept it. You can try it.

We can make a draft and we can go and meet the Prosecutor and explain the matter and proceed accordingly.

For further assistance, please feel free to contact us via phone or send an email.

Thank you!
