Losing someone due to the negligence of another is an extremely difficult and strenuous circumstance. JD Haas & Associates knows the difficulty endured in the event of a wrongful death and wants to help guide you through the legal process.
While already strenuous, you may not know where to start or what the legal system expects from you. For example, each state allocates a period of time between the incident and legal processing, called the statute of limitation.
Here are a few other bits of information you should know before filing a wrongful death lawsuit in Kansas City.
Statute of Limitations in Kansas City
The statute of limitations is a law that infers an allotted amount of time between an incident that happened and when you can file for legal proceedings. Each state varies, and it depends on where your incident occurred.
In the state of Missouri, you have three years to file for wrongful death. This means that you have three years to start the paperwork for the legal process. Be mindful that legal action can no longer be taken after three years. If you fall within the three-year time frame of the incident, JD Haas & Associates encourages moving forward when able!
Importance of Taking Legal Action
We know that moving forward with a legal process can be challenging after losing a loved one and can be difficult to deal with while mourning. When able, we encourage taking action as you may have expenses and losses to recover after a wrongful death, such as:
Funeral and Medical Expenses
Pain and Suffering
Lost & Potential income

In the span of three years, you or your loved ones have likely experienced major life changes due to a wrongful death. Financial and emotional justice may help aid in the process of moving forward after the loss of your loved one.
