The governor just signed a law extending the statute, hurry and file, you have nothing to lose. Contact me if interested in discussing representation.

Re: Wrongful Death Statute of Limitations

The statute starts running on the date of death, not the date of the accident. It is one year.

If it has been less than 1 year from the date of death, contact us or another lawyer immediately to protect the statute for you while the case is evaluated.
