Michigan Statute of Limitations in the case of a minor malpractice suit: do any of these things matter?
I will turn 18 in September, and my parents always told me that upon turning 18, I should file a medical malpractice lawsuit because of some incredible things that my neurologist did to me when I was an infant.
However, now that the time is approaching for me to file, I have learned that I cannot. The potential malpractice occurred when I was an infant, in 1991-1993. From what I understand, I would have had to file by the time I was 10.
but, both of my parents are mentally disabled. And in my childhood, they both abused drugs
I was “kidnapped” when I was 6 and 7. My mother had no way of contacting me and could not have filed suit, from what she tells me.
In the period where I was 8-10 years old, I was in foster care, not even with my actual parents to file suit.
Will any of these things likely re-open the opportunity for me to file suit?
Oh, and here are two more things, (and yes, I’m grasping at straws but whatever):
My mother subjected me to sexual abuse and later literally handed me over to a kidnapper. Twice. (this is in the period where I was 5-7 years old) When I was found and taken back to my mother, she still was in denial about the abuse and subjected me to it for another year, until another woman’s daughter made accusations.
She obviously wasn’t in the state of mind to pursue what was in the best interest of me. My father? He was estranged. He wouldn’t have filed suit anyhow.
Kaz: you would expect a 7-year old to contact a lawyer and file a lawsuit?? WHAT?
And again, my parents always told me that I couldn’t pursue the case until I was 18. As it was, I didn’t even think I had a case because they lied to me about what happened (again, they’re mentally disabled).
