    Prenatal negligence
    I'm not sure if this falls under FAmily Law but here is my question. What is the "time frame" for filing a suit of prenatal negligence? Like, what would be the Statute of Limitations for that? Would you have to file right away or can you file whenever? If you can help thanks!

    Are you referring to "parental" negligence? What are the circumstances in your case? Are you trying to sue your own parents for something or are you asking for someone else? Can you prove that the parents were negligent?

    Prenatal neglagence varies from state to state. Some states don't have many laws concerning it just because of the whole "rights of the mother" thing. The best thing you could do is call a family lawyer in your area they will know the laws in your state. It can be somewhat hard to make a case of though, what are you trying to accomplish by doing this? Are you trying to make someone go to the doctor or something?

    I'm trying to figure out if they mean "prenatal" as in "prior to a child being born", or if they mean "parental" as in "people who produced a child."
