Wrongful death is when a person dies due to another person or company's negligence or intentional act. For example, if you recall the famous Ford Pinto cases in the 1970s, Ford was held liable in wrongful death suits due to their negligence in designing the car. A wrongful death action might also result from a car accident, truck accident, medical malpractice, a defective product, etc.
Mississippi Wrongful Death Statute of Limitations
A wrongful death action based on a negligence must be filed within three years of the date of death. In cases where the claim arose from an intentional tort, such as assault and battery, suit must be filed within one year of the date of death. Due to this relatively short statute of limitations, it is imperative that you contact our office for a free consultation as soon as possible. |
