What is the Statute of Limitations for Filing a Wrongful Death Claim?
Transcript
The statute of limitations for filing a wrongful death claim generally is two years from the date of the person’s death. That is the requirement that a case must either be settled or formally filed with the court against the responsible parties, and it must be done within two years of the date of death. There can be certain situations that are exceptions to that rule, but safety would tell you to never go beyond two years from the date of death.
