After filing a personal injury claim against a driver who rear-ended him in a fender-bender, Long Island chiropractor Lewis J. Bazakos was required to submit to a medical examination before a physician of the defendant's insurer's choosing. During that exam, Mr. Bazakos allegedly suffered a second injury, which led to a second suit, this time against Dr. Lewis The new case presented a novel, threshold issue: Did Mr. Bazakos' claim against Dr. Lewis sound in medical malpractice, which carries a 2 1/2-year statute of limitations, or rather in simple negligence, which has a three-year limit?
