A:
If a wrongful death suit is warranted, it should be filed sooner rather than later. Legal counsel should be retained as quickly as possible so that evidence is preserved and to ensure that circumstances surrounding the death are investigated promptly and thoroughly. An experienced wrongful death attorney will also be aware of the time limit or "statute of limitations" in which a wrongful death claim may be filed in the corresponding jurisdiction. Generally, in Maine, a wrongful action must be filed in court within two years of the date of death of the deceased.
