Wrongful Death Claim Timeline

Answer:

We recently had a wrongful death case out of Hillsborough County in Tampa, and the client asked a good question that many clients ask: How long is my case going to last? It’s hard to answer that. Wrongful death cases carry with them a very peculiar set of rules and laws, and they’re very well-stated, if you will, in the Florida statutes. That said, there’s no telling how long your case is going to last.

What you do want to make sure is that you have a lawyer that’s going to fight and get you the maximum value on your case. That could take a year and a half, it could even take three years, but it’ll be well worth it. Settling for a smaller amount is what the insurance carriers want you to do. Wrongful death cases carry with them tremendous pitfalls, and you need a lawyer who is knowledgeable about these areas of the law. We would love to discuss your wrongful death claim with you.
