NY: Med Mal Discovery Rule Bill Fails in Legislature (Again)

Last month, I reported on a bill to adopt the discovery rule for med mal cases in New York.  The bill would toll the (2 1/2 year) statute of limitations until the plaintiff discovered the alleged malpractice.  New York is one of only six states that does not follow the discovery rule in this context.  The bill died over the weekend.  New York Daily News has the story.
