New York Court of Appeals

Diane Nykorchuck v. Edgar Henriques

July 9, 199178 N.Y.2d 255

Summary

The Court affirmed the Appellate Division, holding that the continuous treatment doctrine does not apply to the plaintiff's breast condition and therefore the medical malpractice action, filed more than eight years after the lump was first reported, is barred by the 21‑year statute of limitations.
