Can a young legal aged adult (19 yo female) sue for medical malpractice for a missed diagnosis by her pediatrician when she was 18 months old child? (in the state of Massachusetts). The pediatrician missed a congenital disslocated hip which has required multiple surgeries and more to come.

My response:

Yes, you have 3 years (MA only) from your 18th birthday.
