Re: personal injury
You should contact a personal injury lawyer in the county where your mother was killed.
Re: personal injury
That depends. There is a 2-year statute of limitations against the individual or company causing her death. However, if there is a claim being made on her own policy for "uninsured" or "underinsured" motorist coverage, that statute does not expire until 4 years AFTER THE CLAIM IS DENIED. It is possible, therefore, that a UM or UIM claim could still be viable.
