A: Sorry for your loss. Statutes of limitation vary by state and type of claim. Best to talk to a local injury lawyer asap. It can take a lawyer some time to investigate and get a case ready to file, especially medical malpractice cases. Generally speaking, a lawyer is less likely to take a case if there is not enough time to prepare it before the legal deadline expires.
