Lawmakers set new 10-year statute of limitations on malpractice charges
Prisha Mosley, a detransitioner who now advocates against transgender procedures, is seeking to have her lawsuit on medical malpractice, fraud, and negligence charges reinstated in a case that could have wide-ranging ramifications.
Mosley, who was put on testosterone when she was 17, sued several health care providers on medical malpractice and negligence claims in 2023. A judge dismissed her malpractice claims last year on statute of limitations grounds, while clearing her case to move forward on the fraud, facilitating fraud, and civil conspiracy charges.
Now, she is seeking to have her lawsuit revived because North Carolina’s General Assembly has passed legislation that extends the statute of limitations to 10 years for malpractice lawsuits related to gender transitions. That legislation took effect on July 29.
