Discovery rule. Where the state recognizes a discovery rule for med-mal, the calculator uses the later of (incident + baseline) or (discovery + baseline). States without a recognized discovery rule use the incident date only.
Minor tolling. The calculator applies the state's specific rule (e.g., until age 8, age 18, or incident+N years). Medical malpractice often has a carve-out; we flag states where the general minor-tolling rule differs from the med-mal rule.
Government entity. Most states require a notice of claim within 90-180 days of the incident, separate from the SOL. The tool surfaces this if applicable.
Statutes of repose. Many states have a hard cap (4-10 years) that applies regardless of discovery. The tool applies the repose cap when triggered.
Source statutes verified against state legislative databases as of April 2024-April 2025. Re-verify against current statute before relying on any deadline.
