Two year statute of limitations runs out soon, how difficult is it for an attorney to file a wrongful death claim?
Question Details:
I do not have an attorney. How likely is it that a filing could be completed just to avoid the statute of limitations expiring. Can any lawyer file? I have struggled with whether to pursue any action and now feel compelled to at least consult an attorney and try. I believe there was gross negligence at a local nursing home facility where individual had gone for a brief length of stay to provide respite relief for family caregivers and was paying privately for this respite care. The negligence he experienced resulted in his death.
