How long do I have to file a claim?

Posted in and tagged by Ken Wilhelm

There is a limited amount of time to file a wrongful death claim. This time limit is known as the statute of limitations. The statute of limitations for most wrongful death cases in New York is two years from the date of death, but in some cases, especially against a city or other governmental entity, the time to act may be much shorter. Failure to file within two years could jeopardize the future of your potential claim. It is best to call an experienced personal injury lawyer as soon as possible after the death or injury so that your rights are protected.
