Re: Employer insurance

There are state and federal requirements for insurance. The law regarding the limitations for wrongful death is dependent on the state of the death. In West Virginia the limitations is 2 years from the date of death. Any death claim which may involve workers compensation and or tort wrongful death liability should be evaluated by a lawyer. If the matter cannot be settled then the lawyer should be retained by the personal representative.
