There is nothing that can replace the loss of beloved family member.

You can rely on our experienced and knowledgeable attorneys to effectively represent you and hold the responsible party liable.

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim?

Not everyone can file a wrongful death claim in Washington.

Below are the parties who can file a claim in the state:

  • The personal representative of the decedent's estate
  • The decedent’s surviving spouse, children, or stepchildren
  • The decedent's surviving registered domestic partner

A wrongful death lawsuit is a civil case and, therefore, liability is expressed through monetary damages.

The Statute of Limitations

Every state has a statute of limitations, which is a timeframe within which one must file a lawsuit. In Washington, the statute of limitations for filing a wrongful death lawsuit is three years, beginning on the date of the decedent’s passing. However, there are some factors that might impact the three-year time limit. To ensure the statute of limitations does not run out on your case, seek legal guidance as soon as possible.

This time limit applies to all types of cases, from car accidents to truck accidents to all other causes.

Recoverable Damages in a Wrongful Death Claim

In Washington, one can collect both economic and non-economic damages in a wrongful death claim.

Below are some of the different types of damages you might be able to recover when filing a wrongful death lawsuit:

  • The decedent’s final medical expenses
  • Burial and funeral expenses
  • Lost wages/income provided by the decedent
  • Pain and suffering the decedent experienced prior to death
  • The loss of household services the decedent provided
  • The loss of the decedent’s care, comfort, and society
  • Damages associated with property damage repairs (if applicable)

In certain circumstances, there may be caps on the amount of monetary compensation available in wrongful death claims, such as in cases involving medical malpractice.
