FAQs
In most cases, the statute of limitations for filing a wrongful death claim is three years from the date of death. Missing this deadline could prevent you from seeking compensation, so it’s important to start the process as soon as possible.
You may be entitled to claim funeral expenses, loss of financial support, emotional distress, and medical expenses related to the injury leading to death. Each case varies depending on the circumstances.
Yes, it’s still possible. We would file the claim against the responsible party’s estate or insurance company, depending on the situation.
The timeline depends on the complexity of the case and whether it goes to trial. It could take several months or even years in some cases. However, we work diligently to resolve matters as quickly as possible while still ensuring a fair result.
Not necessarily. Many wrongful death claims are settled out of court. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, we are fully prepared to take the case to trial.
If the death occurred in a workplace setting, workers’ compensation may cover part of the financial loss. However, a wrongful death lawsuit can also be filed against the responsible party (such as a negligent third party or employer) to seek additional compensation.
At Pearl Lemon Legal, we operate on a no-win, no-fee basis. You don’t pay us anything unless we win your case. We only succeed if you do.
