Question:
How long do I have to file a wrongful death claim?
Answer:
You may be wondering how long you have to file a claim on behalf of a deceased family member after an accident in Virginia. In Virginia, we have a rule that you have two years from the date of the accident causing the death in which to file your claim.
Occasionally, there are tolling provisions that will apply that can extend that time period, but the general rule is two years from the date of accident.
