Yes. While the time limit rarely extends, some claims have shorter statutes of limitation. For example, you must file a claim against a public entity within six months. In some cases, plaintiffs must file survival actions within six months of the death, while in others, they must file within a year or two of the cause of action (the accident or incident causing the injuries that resulted in death). An experienced attorney from The May Firm can advise you of the statute of limitations in your case.
