That may seem like a long time, but these complicated civil lawsuits are difficult for most people to understand without the assistance of a wrongful death attorney, and those two years can pass quickly.\n\nOnce the lawsuit has been filed, many plaintiffs wonder how long Florida wrongful death cases really last, from the time of filing to the conclusion of the case. That\u2019s a difficult question to answer, as each of these cases is unique. However, keep reading for general information on the typical timeline of wrongful death claims in Florida.\n<h4><strong>Understanding Wrongful Death Lawsuits<\/strong><\/h4>\nFlorida Statutes section 768.19 states that a wrongful death claim may be filed when a victim\u2019s death \u201cis caused by the wrongful act, negligence, default, or breach of contract\u201d of another party. In Florida, only the official representative of the victim\u2019s estate can file this type of claim. However, this representative is filed on the behalf of surviving family members. Because this process can be complex and hard to parse, many families choose to work with a\u00a0wrongful death attorney\u00a0familiar with relevant Florida statutes.\n\nThe duration of any lawsuit is difficult to figure out and impossible to predict with precision, especially for wrongful death cases. It\u2019s important that all state laws and available evidence is thoroughly inspected at the beginning of each lawsuit to ensure that you have a viable case to bring to court. For the majority of wrongful death cases, about 18 months to three years can be expected. That time may be shorter if the defendant chooses to settle outside of court, and much longer if the case goes before a judge in a courtroom. Likewise, if complicated issues are involved, such as multiple responsible parties, or if a significant amount of potential damages are involved, a lawsuit can take much, much longer.\n\nGlobally, about 1.2 million people die in car accidents every year, a common source of personal injury and wrongful death cases in the U.S. court system. The basis of liability in wrongful death suits ranges from legally straightforward auto accidents with one driver clearly at fault, to larger accidents with multiple people denying, sharing, and\/or fighting over liability. In addition, there are even more complex issues surrounding medical malpractice within the medical sector.\n<h4><strong>Are There Any Exceptions To the Statute of Limitations in Florida?<\/strong><\/h4>\nIn general, these cases must be filed within two years of the date of death in Florida, although there are rare exceptions. In some cases, the cause of death is not discovered until the statute of limitations has already passed. For instance,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/Statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_StatuteandURL=0000-0099\/0095\/Sections\/0095.11.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Florida Statutes section 95.11<\/a>\u00a0states that\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-969e208 elementor-blockquote--skin-boxed elementor-blockquote--align-center elementor-blockquote--button-color-official elementor-widget elementor-widget-blockquote\" data-id=\"969e208\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"blockquote.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<blockquote class=\"elementor-blockquote\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-blockquote__content\">\n\t\t\t\tAn action for medical malpractice shall be commenced within 2 years from the time the incident giving rise to the action occurred or within 2 years from the time the incident is discovered, or should have been discovered with the exercise of due diligence; however, in no event shall the action be commenced later than 4 years from the date of the incident.\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-29e1858 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"29e1858\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>There are several other exceptions, so if you have questions about how long a wrongful death lawsuit might last or how long you can wait to file, talk to a wrongful death attorney for a consultation.
