Filing a wrongful death claim in Arizona can be complicated. We can help
Filing a wrongful death claim may be your best option for obtaining a settlement after the death of a loved one. But deciding whether to file such a claim can be a very difficult and complicated decision. There are so many factors to consider. First and foremost is who was responsible for the untimely death?
Another factor to consider is whether to file for punitive damages in your wrongful death claim. Punitive damages are often sought in a wrongful death case when a person’s death was the result of criminal activity. That might sound straightforward. But determining what constitutes criminal activity can sometimes be very hard.
Don’t delay taking action in a wrongful death claim
You also need to consider the statute of limitations for filing a wrongful death claim. You only have a certain amount of time to file a claim. And once that time period expires, you often will have a much harder time obtaining wrongful death compensation after your loved one’s death. In Arizona, the statute of limitations for filing a wrongful death claim varies widely depending on the type of injury and many other factors. That’s why you need to consult an experienced Arizona wrongful death lawyer as soon as possible to help you decide the best course of legal action. The clock is running.
