New York Time Limits for Filing Wrongful Death Actions
You have a limited time to file a wrongful death lawsuit. This time limit begins from the date of the death. If the statute of limitations expires before you file a lawsuit, you will likely be unable to do so.
In addition to the legal time limit for filing a lawsuit, there are other reasons for why you should act quickly such as:
- Evidence can disappear or be destroyed, and people can move away or forget what they witnessed
- Expert witnesses may have to be hired to perform inspections of the scene and reconstruct the accident as soon after the accident as possible
- A representative of the decedent’s estate may need to be appointed
