        "text": "You should contact a lawyer as soon as you suspect that a delayed or missed diagnosis has caused you harm. Medical malpractice claims have strict deadlines, known as statutes of limitations, which vary by state. Consulting an attorney early allows them to investigate your case, gather evidence, and determine the viability of a claim before crucial deadlines pass. Prompt action can be vital for preserving your legal rights.",
