Free AI Legal Help for Wrongful Death Questions

When a family member dies because of someone else's negligence, state law decides who can bring a claim, what it covers and how long you have. Ask about it in plain English, at your own pace. General legal information, not a lawyer.

You are chatting with an AI. It gives general legal information, not legal advice, and can be wrong or out of date — check deadlines on the official settlement website. Please don't share Social Security numbers, account numbers or medical details.

When to talk to a lawyer

The assistant gives general legal information. It does not represent you, and it does not decide what you should do in your own case. Talk to a lawyer if:

You are considering any claim; these cases almost always need a lawyer
An insurer or company has contacted the family
The death involved a vehicle, a workplace, a hospital or a government agency
You are unsure who should be the personal representative

What a lawyer costs: Most injury lawyers offer a free first consultation and work on contingency: no fee unless they recover money for you, usually around a third of the settlement, more if the case goes to trial. Ask for the fee agreement in writing, including how case costs are handled.

Request a Free, Confidential Case Review

A wrongful death attorney can review who is eligible to file in your state, what damages apply, and the filing deadline — free, confidential, and with no obligation.

Questions people ask

Is the deadline the same as for injury claims?

Not always. Many states set a separate wrongful death deadline, and it may run from the date of death rather than the date of the accident. Check our deadlines by state and confirm with a lawyer.
