Lawmakers Weigh Extension for Wrongful-Death Suits
The family of a Florida teen who disappeared more than 30 years ago is closely following a proposal in the state legislature to extend the statute of limitations for filing a wrongful death lawsuit. Under Florida law, plaintiffs have only two years to pursue wrongful death damages in civil court. One backer of the bill, Sen. Jeremy Ring, called the current law antiquated and ineffective. The body of the teen, Jeffrey Klee, was not found until last year.
