As in most wrongful civil conduct there are no federal statutes for wrongful death, so each state has made its own set of civil wrongful death statutes and the laws vary from state to state a little bit.
The defendants argued that in all actions brought under the wrongful death statute, the limitations period will be governed by the provision applicable to the liability theory of the underlying wrongful act.
Therefore, the only impediment to suit is the admittedly daunting challenge of finding a court sufficiently sympathetic to read the wrongful death statute expansively.
