Medical mistake!
How long are you able to take legal action after a family member has died of a medical mistake?

Re: Medical mistake!
It depends upon whether or not the person was a minor and what year the person died. Due to tort reform, the statute of limitations in medical malpractice cases has become a complex issue and I don't have enough information to answer you question. You should consult an attorney immediately regarding this matter.
Re: Medical mistake!
The statute of limitations is two years after the letters of authority for the deceased person are issued. The important thing is to see a competent lawyer who specializes in medical issues right away. Try to get the relatives involved and appoint one person to be in charge.
