Answer 1

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

There is a certain amount of time in which a person that has been damaged by the hospital needs to file a case. It only refers to the time when a client sees the injury. They are usually allowed that in the next two years, if they want, can file a lawsuit against them. But it's everywhere in the world different, and it varies from country to country how they will handle this type of problem.
