What is the statute of limitations on a wrongful death lawsuit?

Transcript

And, the laws are different in every state. You can have one state where it is two years and the next state over one year and one state over it three years. So, depending on the facts and circumstances and the laws of every state, you can have a different statute of limitations. And especially when you think about the society we live in today where people travel more, you know, you may live in West Virginia but the injury may have occurred in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Kentucky or as far away as California. So, very quickly you need to figure out how much time you have to bring your claim. So if you’ve been involved in any incident where you think you’ve been wronged, you need to call us. Call us here Bailey Javins & Carter, so that we can very quickly assess what the particular statute of limitations is for your case based on where it occurred.
