Seek advice promptly about deadlines. Medical-dispute mediation involves both a 10-year limit from the end of the causative act and a three-year limit from learning of the harm and responsible party; you cannot simply choose the more favorable period. Starting dates and deadlines for litigation or other claims need separate review. Negotiating with a hospital should not be assumed to stop time limits.
