Frequently Asked Questions About Hackensack Medical Malpractice Suits

You may be able to seek compensation and obtain monetary damages through a Hackensack medical malpractice lawsuit if your doctor or another medical professional failed to take reasonable steps to complete a procedure successfully or to provide you with an accurate and relevant medical diagnosis or advice.

  • How long do I have to file a medical malpractice lawsuit? New Jersey Statutes Section 2A:14-2 give medical malpractice victims two years from the date they suffered their injury within which to file a medical malpractice lawsuit. This time period may be extended if the victim had no reason to immediately suspect that he or she had been injured.
