Re: Wrongful death

You have one year. I have handled many such cases and have one now pending in the Supreme Court. If you have any questions let me know at 219-340-3890. I have tried several high profile cases over the years and am not afraid of a fight.

You generally will have one year within which to file a formal complaint . . . there are exceptions . . . you should contact an attorney with more specific details to obtain the advice you need in order to make the right choices . . .
