A Wrongful Death Lawsuit in Washington State

In a wrongful death lawsuit, you go after the insurance company – that is who you sue. Unfortunately, insurance companies are in business to make a profit. While it may seem like they care about your well being and act very friendly – at some point the tables will turn and you will see that they really want to make money. This is true in any claim and especially true in wrongful death claims because they can be worth much more.

Wrongful death is defined as someone losing their life due to the negligence of another person or entity (corporation, business, government, etc.). A spouse, child or someone that is financially dependent on this person can file a wrongful death lawsuit.

In Washington State, the statute of limitations for wrongful death is 3 years. This means that you have up to 3 years to file a suit.

Wrongful death may be associated with car accidents, medical malpractice, auto defects and more.
If you believe your loved one was wrongfully killed, immediately contact an attorney. An experience wrongful death attorney can guide you through this process and decide if you have a case. Although no money can bring that person back, unfortunately, it can cover medical bills, funeral expenses, loss wages, pain and suffering and more.
