Can a wrongful death lawsuit be filed if there is substantial evidence to prove the case but the statute of limitations has expired in Rhode Island?
Usually such a suit is not possible after the SOL has expired.
However, exceptions are sometimes made depending upon the specific circumstances of the case in question.
All the contributing factors in the case would have to be reviewed by a qualified personal injury/wrongful death attorney to determine if the case qualifies as a special exception.
