How long do I have to file a wrongful death suit?
North Carolina law imposes a two-year deadline for filing a wrongful death lawsuit in most cases, which generally expires two years from the date of death. Missing this deadline can permanently bar your right to recover compensation. As a practical matter, valuable evidence can be damaged or lost soon after a fatal accident.
It’s crucial to take legal action as soon as possible. Speaking with an attorney from Younce, Vtipil, Baznik & Banks early on gives your family the best chance of protecting your rights and building a strong case.
