Wrongful death cases, although they may be based on a particular field of law, such as medical malpractice, negligent driving including DWI/DUI, a defective drug or product, etc., they are classified as their own type of case.

While no amount of money can bring the deceased back, legal action can hold those accountable for the wrongful death they caused. By taking legal action, we can help give your family the resources necessary to move forward after a fatal injury.

What most people do not know is that wrongful death actions have a different statute of limitations than other personal injury claims. The Estates Procedures & Trusts Law governs this time limitation. Although wrongful death injuries are very significant injuries the timeframe one has to commence suit for this type of action can actually be shorter than the statute for all other types of personal injury cases. Because of that an attorney should be contacted as soon as possible when a death has occurred due to the negligence of another.
