    Hello D:

    You may only have three years. It could even be less in your state. Go see a lawyer TODAY!

    Hopefully the SOL has not expired on filing a lawsuit for your family due to his death. Seek legal advice immediately and get a lawsuit going ASAP!!

    First of course you have to prove some fault, so what happened, to cause the death.

    But the time frame is close if not already passed.
