You have until 13 Sept 2023. As long as child is minor you can sue.

Oh, Mr. Fink, you should be ashamed of yourself. The Statute of Limitations for medical malpractice claims regarding minors is not tolled for that length of time. See California Code of Civil Procedure, Section 340.4. That section states: "An action by or on behalf of a minor for personal injuries sustained before or in the course of his or her birth must be commenced within six years after the date of birth, and the time the minor is under any disability mentioned in Section 352 shall not be excluded in computing the time limited for the commencement of the action." Therefore, the last day to sue (setting aside CCP 364 which can give an additional 90 days) is 6 years from the birth date of 9/14/2005 which would be 9/14/2011!

I agree with Gordon.
