Good to know
State law decides who may bring a wrongful death claim (for example, a spouse, children or the estate's representative). An attorney can explain who that is in your state.
Legal deadlines apply to every injury claim and vary by state. We can't tell you your deadline, so please don't wait to talk with an attorney.
How filing works
- File online (about 10 minutes) or call the Super Intelligent Claim Line.
- An independent attorney licensed in your state reviews the facts for free.
- If the attorney can help, they contact you. You decide whether to go forward.
