What You Need to Know About Wrongful Death Lawsuits

Wrongful death laws vary with every state and are designed to settle the monetary damages caused by the death of a loved one due to someone else’s wrongdoing. Hiring an experienced attorney to help you file a lawsuit is crucial, especially if you want to receive the correct compensation. 

At Natasha Misra Law, we’re ready to handle your wrongful death claim and recover the compensation you deserve for: 

  • Funeral Costs 
  • Loss of Companionship 
  • Mental Anguish 
  • Loss of Future Earnings 
  • Loss of Retirement Benefits 

Of course, there are other ways that you can receive compensation. That’s why it’s so important to have the proper support while filing a claim–you don’t want to do this alone. 

When Do I Need to File a Wrongful Death Lawsuit?

In Wisconsin, you have three years from the time of your loved one’s death to file a wrongful death lawsuit. However, the law has an exception for motor vehicle accident wrongful death claims. In this situation, you have only two years from the time of the death to make a claim.
