Ninety Days of Tolling

Selvidge v. Tang, No. C083427 (D3 Mar. 5, 2018)

Under Code of Civil Procedure § 340.5, the statute of limitations for med-mal is one year or three years after discovery of the injury. The patient in this case died, so it’s a one year clock. Plaintiff—patient’s next of kin—sued almost three months after the year and run, so she’s too late under § 340.5.
