Question: Wrongful Death - Accidental Death - Wisconsin
Asked on 10/6/2009
Two year statute of limitations runs out on 10/10/2009. How difficult is it for an attorney to file a wrongful death claim?
I do not have an attorney. How likely is it that a filing could be completed just to avoid the statute of limitations expiring prior to Friday 10/10/2009. Can any lawyer file? The death occurred Oct. 10, 2007--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.

If the statute of limitations expired on Oct.10, 2009, your last day to file your lawsuit was Oct. 9, 2009. Unfortunately, by missing the statute of limitations, you may have lost your rights forever in the matter.
