Wrongful Death
Nothing can prepare a family member for the loss of a loved one. The tragedy can be especially overwhelming where the death was preventable, and caused by another person’s careless or reckless act. While nothing can replace a loved one, Washington law does provide remedies for the surviving family members, and for the estate. It is important to work with an attorney who is experienced in working on the unique issues that arise in wrongful death cases.
Wrongful death claims are complex, and must be carefully handled. The attorney must address many issues, including: Who are the responsible parties? What are the standards of liability? Who are the beneficiaries who can recover for loss of the loved one? What types of damages are available to the beneficiaries, and to the estate? Must a probate action be started on behalf of the Estate? Who should serve as personal representative for the Estate? Should a guardian be appointed to represent any minors? What insurance policies and assets are available to help compensate the survivors for their losses? What liens exist, and how can they be handled or waived? How does a criminal case affect the civil claims for wrongful death?
Under Washington law, the eligible survivors of a wrongful death are entitled to seek compensation for loss of the family member’s support, love, affection, care, services, and companionship. Washington statutes also preserve claims the decedent could have brought had they survived, such as the net income they would have earned had they survived, and any pain, suffering or fear experienced before their death.
