Turner v. SHELDON D. WEXLER, DPM
Supreme Court of Virginia
Decided June 5, 1992No. Record 911230PublishedCited by 57 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtJustice Hassell
The primary issue we consider in this appeal is whether the filing of a notice of claim for medical malpractice, as defined by former Code § 8.01-581.1, against a professional corporation tolled the applicable statute of limitations.
Linda M. Turner filed the notice, dated May 13, 1988, against “Sheldon D. Wexler, D.P.M., P.C.” The notice of claim alleged that Dr. Sheldon D. Wexler, a podiatrist, committed nine separate negligent acts or omissions during his care and treatment of her. Neither Turner nor “Sheldon D. Wexler, D.P.M., P.C.” requested a review by a medical malpractice review panel.
