NY infancy tolling under New York civil procedure rule 208 extends the medical-malpractice SOL for an injured infant. The 2.5-year SOL of New York civil procedure rule 214-a doesn't begin to run during infancy. The practical SOL for a birth-injury claim filed in the child's nombre is up to 10 years from the malpractice, depending on the cause of action. The parent's derivative loss-of-services claim follows the normal 2.5-year SOL.
If a birth injury was diagnosed late or misdiagnosed (e.g., HIE classified as something else), Lavern's Law (effective 2018) can extend the SOL based on the discovery date, capped at 7 years from the malpractice.
NYC Health + Hospitals (HHC) hospitals — Bellevue, Elmhurst, Kings County, Jacobi, Metropolitan, etc. — require a 90-day notice of claim. The parent (as natural guardian) files for the injured infant. Llámanos immediately if the delivery was at an HHC facility.
