When a wrongful death occurs, survivors of the deceased may face significant emotional and financial loss. In order to get justice for their loved one, they must be aware of the applicable laws in regard to such cases—particularly, the Statute of Limitations, or the time limit within which a claim can legally be filed. While it’s easy enough to find generalized information about this topic online, if you have been recently dealing with the aftermath of a wrongful death in your family or community, it is important that you understand how these cases are handled by the law. Understanding what needs to be done as quickly as possible is critical; if legal action isn’t taken within a certain amount of time after an incident leading to a wrongful death occurred then your case could become invalidated before you even make it through court doors.
