With accounting malpractice, there is a statute of limitations on damage done that is three years long [CPLR 214(6)]. In medical malpractice, the statue of limitations however is altered with the doctrine of ‘continuous treatment.’ By applying that doctrine, physicians that continued to treat a patient after the malpractice occurred will not be exempt once the statute of limitations runs out. The case of Williamson v. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP brought to light the notion that ‘continuous treatment,’ or in this case, ‘continuous representation,’ could apply to accounting malpractice as well.
