What is the statute of limitations for a medical malpractice suit in California?


What is the statute of limitations for a medical malpractice suit in California?

I believe its one year from the date of discovery of the injury, but no more than three years.

Confirmed: Cal. Civ. Proc. Code 搂 340.5.

most states is 2 years from the date the wrong was found out.
