How long do I have to file a claim for a Sacramento wrongful death case?

In most cases, you have two years from the date of the fatality to file a wrongful death lawsuit. There are some important exceptions to this law. For example, if the defendant is a government agency, you must file a complaint with that agency within the first six months in order to later file a lawsuit. Please consult with one of our wrongful death attorneys regarding the Statute of Limitations for your case.
