        "text": "In California, the statute of limitations for most wrongful death claims is generally two years from the date of the person's death. However, there can be exceptions, particularly if a government entity is involved, where the timeline can be much shorter. It's crucial to consult with an attorney as soon as possible to ensure your claim is filed within the legal timeframe to avoid missing your opportunity.",
