Liability Overview

Liability Considerations in Memphis

Tennessee's 1-year statute of limitations for medical malpractice (Tenn. Code Ann. § 29-26-116) requires that a 60-day pre-suit notice be served before filing — effectively compressing the usable window to approximately 10 months from the date of injury for parent claims. Tennessee's non-economic cap of $750,000 ($1 million for catastrophic injuries) applies to birth injury cases. Minor children's claims toll until age 19. Memphis families must engage a birth injury attorney immediately after a suspected birth injury.
