Q: My daughter died 6 years ago , she was being taken from jail from court in a suv driven by probation officer ,
She also had 2 other probation officers in car
She was handcuffed , seat belted in and managed to jump from car on way to jail . She was lifeflighted from scene and pronounced brain dead after waiting to hear from lawyers I hired I had I contacted they said they could not take case , because it was criminal case I thought I had 2 months to find lawyers to take case.
Recently told there was no deadline for crimal case
She had 5 children who lost a mother. I lost only daughter, at time I was given guardianship over her . According to lawyer I did have she was found clear after she went from scene to hospital and that was reason for arrest was she was dirty ,
Can I still file lawsuit for me and her kids???!
A: I am so sorry that you lost your daughter. What a terrible story. Unfortunately, there is a 2 year statute of limitations according to my colleague regarding these types of cases. You are unable to file the lawsuit because of this. Again, I am so sorry to hear this.
