James Andrew Williams v. St. Vincent Infirmary Medical Center; Catholic Health Initiatives; First Initiatives…

Summary

The court held that Williams failed to comply with the medical-malpractice tolling statute because his notice to St. Vincent did not identify Dr. Holland, a known medical care provider relating to the alleged injury. Because the statutory requirements were mandatory, the limitations period was not tolled, and the complaint filed more than two years after the injury was time-barred. The court therefore affirmed the dismissal of the hospital defendants and dismissed the appeal in part.
