Re: malpractice

Generallly, the statute of limitations for wrongful death is 2 years. However, if a municipality or state entity is involved it is shorter. You may also have to file a notice of claim in the event a municipal hospital or facility is involved. I would be happy to provide a free consultation to you. Kindly contact me at 1(800)WE-FIGHT.
