How Long Do I Have to File a Wrongful Death Lawsuit?
In Oklahoma, the law about wrongful death lawsuits is explicit and clear: your action must commence within 2 years of the date of death.
In some types of personal injury lawsuits, the statute of limitations may not begin to accrue until you discover, or should have discovered with due diligence, that your injury was due to negligence. This is the way medical malpractice lawsuits work, but with wrongful death, there is no such rule.
If you suspect your loved one’s death may have been due to the negligence of another person, you don’t have the luxury of waiting until you know for sure. You need to talk to a lawyer today to begin pursuing legal action.
The good news is that a lawyer can help you find the facts you need to be sure, one way or the other. And most lawyers handling wrongful death cases offer free consultations, so there’s no cost to talk to one or even several.
