Michigan Statute of Limitations in the case of a minor malpractice suit: do any of these things matter?

[gofraidh34]

I will turn 18 in September, and my parents always told me that upon turning 18, I should file a medical malpractice lawsuit because of some incredible things that my neurologist did to me when I was an infant.

However, now that the time is approaching for me to file, I have learned that I cannot. The potential malpractice occurred when I was an infant, in 1991-1993. From what I understand, I would have had to file by the time I was 10.

but, both of my parents are mentally disabled. And in my childhood, they both abused drugs

I was "kidnapped" when I was 6 and 7. My mother had no way of contacting me and could not have filed suit, from what she tells me.

In the period where I was 8-10 years old, I was in foster care, not even with my actual parents to file suit.

Will any of these things likely re-open the opportunity for me to file suit?

No, since the statute of limitations has already expired in most states. In some states however, the statute of limitations for felonies never expire. Since you stated that you researched the subject, it seems that where you reside, it has already expired. Even when your parents are mentally disabled or you were in foster care, your guardians could have taken it to court. I'm not sure why you waited until you were 18 for that matter. Good luck.
