In most cases, Wisconsin has a three-year statute of limitations for filing a wrongful death claim; there are circumstances, like auto accidents, which can reduce the statute to two years. If you fail to take legal action within the correct timeframe, you lose your right to seek compensation from the at-fault party.
While some wrongful death lawsuits may settle quickly – even in a matter of months – others can take years to resolve. The timeline depends on a variety of factors, including the complexity of the case and insurance negotiations.
In order to file a successful wrongful death claim, you’ll need to be able to prove that the death was caused by negligence and/or a breach of duty by the Defendant(s). You’ll also need to demonstrate what caused the death and how it impacted your life (both financially and emotionally).
Wrongful death lawsuit outcomes rely heavily on proof. The prosecuting attorneys must be able to prove the case before a jury. If you have evidence and testimony supporting your claim, you likely have a strong case on your hands.
