Timing varies due to case complexity. If the party that is accused of causing the death does not accept responsibility, or if their insurance provider is not offering a fair amount of compensation, a wrongful death lawsuit may take a few years to resolve while more straightforward cases may be settled within a year. We hope the information above has proven to be helpful. For answers more specific to your personal situation, contact our Reno wrongful death attorneys at (775) 322-6636. Time is of the essence as wrongful death cases must be filed within the statute of limitations.
