COLUMBUS, OH, September 30, 2012 (Press-News.org) The wrongful death of a loved one can be emotionally overwhelming and leave surviving family members facing financial uncertainty and numerous questions about their legal options, including how long they have to file a wrongful death lawsuit.
If you lost a loved one due to the negligence of another, the Columbus, Ohio, wrongful death attorneys at Robert W. Kerpsack Co., L.P.A., can advise you on your legal rights and help guide you through this difficult time. We have a thorough understanding of wrongful death law in Ohio, and we have successfully helped numerous families recover the financial compensation they need and sense of justice they deserve.
Although wrongful death laws in most states are fundamentally similar, there are also key differences. One of these differences is the statute of limitations, or how long family members have to file a wrongful death lawsuit.
In Ohio, the administrator or executor of the deceased individual's estate must file a wrongful death lawsuit prior to the two-year anniversary of the death. However, shorter timeframes may apply to claims for damages suffered by the individual prior to his or her death.
Because the failure to file a timely wrongful death lawsuit can prevent you from recovering any compensation, it's important to consult with the experienced Ohio wrongful death team at Robert W. Kerpsack Co., L.P.A., as soon as possible if you believe your family was killed as a result of the negligent act of another.
For more information about who can file a wrongful death lawsuit, please see our Who Can Sue in the Case of Wrongful Death? page.
