Re: Statue of limitations/wrongful death

The easy answer to your question is that you have 2 years from the deate of death. The answer may actually be more complicated depending on the cause of death. Was the death due to medical error or negligence? Was there an assault? Was there a car accient?

You need to give me (or another attorney) a call as soon as possible. I have been handling serous injury or death claims for over 30 years and will be happy to discuss this with you in more detail. Please give me a call or email me with contact information. No charge or obligation for a confidential conference.

Good Luck!
