Brown, 673 P.2d 912, 914 (Ariz. 1983) (“Where a medical malpractice claim is based on a misdiagnosis or failure to diagnose a condition, the ‘injury’ ... is the development of the problem into a more

2016Although every case is different, Wisconsin case law has over time developed a consistent test for determining the date of injury in medical malpractice claims under Wis. Stat. § 893.55 (1m)(a): it is the date of the "physical injurious change." Genrich, 318 Wis. 2d 553, ¶17 .

Hubbell, 210 Wis. 2d 150, 168 , 563 N.W.2d 913 (Ct. App. 1997) ("we are mindful that we are to look beyond the labels of `derivative' and `separate' claims").

2001Skemp contends that there is authority that, notwithstanding the unambiguous language of Wis. Stat. § 893.55 (1), a misdiagnosis, without more, is an injury that results in an accrual of a medical malpractice claim: Koschnik v. Smejkal, 96 Wis. 2d 145, 153 , 291 N.W.2d 574 (1980); Elfers v.
