There definitely should be (and is) a statute of limitations for all types of lawsuits, because, as with criminal cases, evidence is eventually thrown away, people die and/or forget. However, with medical malpractice cases, there is the issue of hidden and delayed damage, so in those cases, I think the statutes should exclude any period where the malpractice was hidden.

There already is a statute of limitations of medical lawsuits or malpractice! I believe its more than 3 yrs, it may be 7 years or more! All you have to do is go to Yahoo and type in your question, or go to the law library in your town or you can just get law books from a regular library! WAY TO GO! lb

Every state has a statute of limitations on law suits of every type. They vary by state & by type of suit. There SHOULD be such limitations because evidence degrades & people move away & forget things over time.
