Question
dioge73
My husband was a Vietnam vet & passed away 10 yrs. ago. the hospital & doctors were baffled at what caused his death. Last yr.my benefits stopped as my son turned 16 & his death was not recorded as service connected. I pulled out a box of his paperwork that I started to read 10 yrs. ago but got too upset & put them away. I found specific evidence that it was the fault of the VA . I put in a claim for widow benefits & it is still in progress. ( I see no way they can deny them ) . My question is : is there a statute of limitations for a wrongful death suit ? It is written on there paperwork they were not to give him a certain drug because there could be a critical interaction with a medication he was on for years. They prescribed it anyways along with a replacement med. He was 100% TPD. Within 5 months taking this, he died, of every symptom this interaction caused. The evidence is clearly apparent . I was told I need an attorney that handles TORTE claims. a local attorney told me there was a 2 year window but was not sure if it applied for this type of claim. As of yet I have not found an attorney who can handle this or answer me. Any advise will be greatly appreciated
