How Long Do You Have to File a Wrongful Death Suit?

NYC personal injury attorneys have the answers you need.

When a loved one passes away, either due to a tragic accident or other incident that resulted in severe injuries and/or death, it can be hard to focus on anything but mourning and then eventually attempting to return to a normal life. This task can be made even more difficult if are suffering from mental anguish, or if you have lost someone who provided for you and your family financially. However, retaining the services of a New York personal injury attorney and filing a wrongful death suit may help to alleviate some of the pain and help you secure a stable financial future.

If a loved one has died as a result of someone else’s negligence, reckless actions, or deliberate actions with the intent to harm and/or kill, then you have the right to file a wrongful death lawsuit and receive compensation for emotional pain and suffering, and financial restitution for any other damages that have resulted from the unfortunate death.

NYC personal injury lawyers advise that you don’t wait too long before seeing if you have grounds for such a lawsuit, as there is a statute of limitations. In New York, the statute of limitations for filing a wrongful death suit is only two years from the time of death. If you are able to consult with attorneys within that time frame, then the lawyers will help investigate the details of the claim and fight on your behalf to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve for the loss of your loved one.
