Sometimes the statute of limitations can be tolled for the very reason you have stated. It is not simple or easy to do, however. You must consult an attorney who is an expert at this type of case immediately. A divorce, business, will or criminal lawyer, etc. will not suffice. They will not have sufficient knowledge of this area of the law. Research lawyers who are experts in the field and contact one ASAP. Stay away from attorneys in Rome as they are beholden to the hospitals and medical establishment in that jurisdiction and those in Cartersville as they may not know this area of law. The closest place that I would feel comfortable suggesting you consult an attorney is Marietta but you may have to go all the way to Atlanta. Good luck.
