Understanding Wrongful Death Claims in Washington
What Is a Wrongful Death?
A wrongful death occurs when someone dies as a result of another person’s wrongful act, neglect, or default. These cases are similar to personal injury claims, except they are filed on behalf of the deceased by their surviving family members.
Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim?
In Washington, wrongful death claims can generally be filed by:
- The decedent’s spouse or domestic partner
- The decedent’s children, including adopted and stepchildren
- Parents or siblings financially dependent on the deceased
In cases involving a minor child, parents may file a claim without proving financial dependence.
Compensation in Wrongful Death Cases
Wrongful death claims aim to compensate families for:
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Medical costs related to the deceased’s final injury or illness
- Loss of financial support and benefits
- Emotional pain and suffering
Why Choose Dore Law Group, PLLC?
We understand that no amount of money can truly compensate for your loss. However, holding negligent parties accountable can provide financial stability and a sense of justice.
