I recently found paperwork stating I could pursue a wrongful death lawsuit for my father once I turned 18. I knew nothing of this until very recently, I'm 35 now, am I still able to pursue this?

Probably not.  You're going to run into problems with the statute of limitations.  If there are some extraneous facts which would have tolled the SOL, there may be arguments to be made, but it's going to be an uphill battle.  For a definitive answer you're going to need to sit down with an attorney so her or she can review your situation in detail and advise you. Best of luck.
