Re: 911 killed my mom

You need to find a lawyer asap. It is too difficult to determine whether the statue has run without tallking to the executor/adminstrator of the estate and the family. In addition, the damage aspect must be reviewed carefully to see who is responsible and what amount the case is worth. Thes case are difficult. I urge you to seek representation by someone who knows how to handle these cases.

Frankly, I don't understand why you are wasting

time posing your question to LawGuru. You should

identify a personal injury law firm in your local area

at once and give them all the facts. They will tell

you if you have a good case. This is too important

to be sitting on the statute of limitations clock trying

to figure this out yourself. You need to talk to

a lawyer right now. It is free since most firms take

a good case on contingency basis. "no recovery no fee"
