What is the statute of limitations in wrongful death cases?
The statute of limitations for wrongful death cases, or the time you have to file a lawsuit, varies from state to state and by case type. Generally, you have two years from the date of the incident, but you may have less time depending on the type of case. To be sure your rights will be preserved, you should contact an attorney immediately to determine the type of case you have, and the deadline to file a claim.
