You only have 2 years to file a Wrongful Death Case
Preserving evidence and your rights requires early legal intervention. There is a short statute of limitations regarding the filing of a wrongful death claim - 2 years. There are also specific limitations on the types of damages that may be recovered and by whom. Our firm will guide you in efficiently and effectively moving forward within this legal framework.
For 10 years, Mr. Schneikart defended insurance companies from personal injury claims before becoming a full time plaintiff's attorney. We have an in-depth understating of how insurance companies think and plan the defense of a claim.
As a result, we develop claims that prove fault and document losses. We work with investigators and accident scene witnesses to record the necessary evidence. Well-developed and strongly argued claims help family members collect damages for the loss of future wages, medical expenses occurring prior to death and loss of companionship.
