Hello. I am sorry for your loss of your child. The applicable statute of limitations depends on the cause of action. You should confer with a private attorney in the appropriate state with no delay, because you may forever lose certain rights by expiration of certain statutes of limitations. This website provides general information, not legal advice. Some attorneys are available seven days for emergency legal needs. Many attorneys will confer initially at no charge. Then, if legal work is performed, some attorneys will provide a reduced fee for financial hardship. Some attorneys may also assist you in limited scope manner to conserve legal costs. All the best.

Laws may vary from state to state, and sometimes change. Tiny variations in the facts, or a fact not set forth in a question, often can change a legal outcome or an attorney's conclusion.
