A pаtient sued а surgeоn fоr medicаl malpractice after a bоtched surgery. After filing the complaint, the patient properly served the surgeon 75 days after filing, and the surgeon filed an answer seven days after being served. Because the patient never signed a consent to surgery form, and after another 45 days passed since the surgeon filed her answer, the patient filed a motion seeking to file an amended complaint adding a claim for battery. The statute of limitations for battery expired three days before the motion was filed. Should the court grant the patient’s motion to amend the complaint?
