When someone is killed due to the negligence of another person, Washington state law permits the victim's surviving family members to pursue a wrongful death action against the negligent party who is legally responsible for the death. Wrongful death claims are complex and often require a high level of investigation and expert testimony to prove negligence and recover a fair settlement.
Because of these factors, predicting the potential value of a wrongful death case is a difficult task. There are many factors that can have an impact on the outcome or overall value of any case. Below you will find a collection of some of the more notable wrongful death settlements, arbitration awards, and jury verdicts that have been successfully resolved by the wrongful death attorneys at Davis Law Group.
