Statutes of Limitations on Wrongful Death Claims

When someone passes away to the negligence of another party, North Dakota imposes a two-year statute of limitations on any consequent wrongful death claims. The statute begins on the day the deceased passed away, not on the day they were injured or fell ill due. If you do not file a claim within the next two years, then you will essentially be unable to file one afterward. Any late claim can be dismissed by the court.
