How Long Does A Wrongful Death Lawsuit Last?

Duration of Wrongful Death LawsuitThis is a very difficult question to answer in just about any lawsuit, but particularly wrongful death.  Every case is entirely different.  As an Orlando deadly accident lawyer, I often must evaluate many different laws to determine whether someone can be held accountable.

The basis of liability in wrongful death lawsuits varies from legally straightforward car accidents with a clearly at fault driver, to trucking accidents where multiple parties are involved but all denying and fighting over liability, to much more complex medical malpractice or pharmaceutical liability cases, or premises or products liability cases, which often involve extensive study of medical records by experts, lots of legal technicalities every step of the way, defendants who fight harder to avoid liability, and many other possibilities.

Yes, But How Long Does A Wrongful Death Lawsuit Last?

We understand that most plaintiffs would prefer to resolve their case as soon as possible.  We will try to honor that need but also stay committed to maintaining an objective perspective, analyzing both the law and facts with extraordinary care, and taking the time needed to fully prepare our cases.

That being said, the average wrongful death case might last 18 months to two years, but can take longer (even much longer) if more complicated issues are involved, or if more money is at stake (which means that defendants often utilize every evidentiary, tactical and procedural maneuver possible to extend the case, such as complex motions and appeals).

I Would Be Honored To Help You Sort Through Your Options

If you would like to get a better idea of how long your potential wrongful death case might take, please give me a call.  I’m happy to talk with plaintiffs about potential claims at any time and provide my cell phone on my website for that very reason.  You will never be just a number with me and can expect and will receive very personalized and compassionate service every step of the way.

Important Disclaimers

This information on this page is designed to give you a general idea of wrongful death law in Florida. However, the law frequently changes and is subject to countless numbers of exceptions, exclusions, and variations, which only a lawyer can evaluate. Additionally, although we made every effort to provide accurate information on this website, we did not give preparation of the material on this website the same level of attention and scrutiny that we would give to a potential client’s or client’s case. So you should not rely on anything on this page but rather should speak with one of our attorneys to confirm that the information is accurate, the law has not changed and to better determine how the law applies to your particular case.

Nothing on this website is intended to constitute or serve as a substitute for legal advice. You should not rely on anything you read here without seeking legal counsel. Nothing provided on this site will create an attorney-client relationship with Tina M. Willis, Esq. or Tina Willis Law. The information provided on this site may not always be current. No representation is made that the quality of this firm’s legal work is better than the quality of the legal work of other lawyers.

My office is located in Orlando, Florida. However, I am a licensed attorney in the states of Florida & Georgia, so I can accept wrongful death cases from either of those states, and I give all cases the same level of careful attention regardless of where they are located.

What if you are located in another state?

Attorneys cannot handle cases out of the states where they are licensed without joining co-counsel from the other state. However, this can often be easily done and does not cost you any more money. If you are from another state, then I might also be able to help you find an attorney from your state through my attorney contacts all over the U.S., and still stay involved in an oversight or co-counsel capacity.
