The medical malpractice discovery clause can extend the statute of limitations indefinitely. The discovery clause refers to the date of discovery when a patient finds out that an ailment was actually caused due to medical malpractice. Many states allow patients to file medical malpractice lawsuits based on this date rather than the standard statute of limitations as implemented from the date of the medical treatment or procedure.
