Plavix
Question Details: I stumbled onto information regarding the detrimental use of Plavix and heart burn medication prescribed to people after they receive a stent. If these things I've read are true, and eventhough I am just becoming aware of these facts, when does the statute of limitation apply. My Mom received a stent in 2001. She was put on Plavix and taking heartburn medication. A week or so later she developed a fever and we rushed her to the hospital. She had to have her Aorta replaced. She never came back home but died from Sepsis and pneumonia in 2002.
Wrongful Death - Accidental Death Law Answers
I'm not a Maryland attorney, but my research indicates that the medical malpractice statute is 5 years after the injury, or three years after discovery of the injury, whichever is shorter. Based on that, it looks like your time to sue ran out in 2007.
Please have an attorney in your area review all of the facts of your case, for advice you can rely upon. One place to find a lawyer is our website, http://attorneypages.com
