If the statute of limitations has run, the case cannot be brought. It is possible to show periods of time when the statute of limitations has tolled and shouldn't be counted against the time frames. Please consult an attorney that specializes in the type of malpractice you are looking for redress for.

∙ 12y agoNo, you cannot file a lawsuit after the statute of limitations has expired. The purpose is to avoid an excessive time elapsing after the event. It makes it difficult for the defendant to provide a defense and the time affects the ability of witnesses to accurately remember what really happened.
