When a loved one dies due to the fault of another, grief can all but take over the surviving family members’ lives. Dealing with grief while planning a funeral, coping with possible medical bills, and losing a source of family income can be devastating. Knowing it was someone else’s fault and dealing with an insurance company whose job it is to minimize payouts only makes it worse. It can get even worse for those who feel in their gut that an entity or organization is at fault but don’t think they can prove it.
Wrongful death cases can be deceptively difficult, depending on a large number of factors. The wrongful death attorneys at Washington Injury Counsel can meet with you in a free, no-obligation, confidential case review to see how we can get the surviving family some justice and closure. We will handle the investigation needed to pursue a claim to resolution. We have convenient locations throughout Washington. If you cannot make it to one of our offices, we can meet either where it’s most convenient or via Zoom videoconferencing.
Surviving family members may be eligible to file a wrongful death claim or lawsuit. In many cases, an investigation must occur as to who may be responsible for the wrongful death. This most oftentimes is an individual, but in some cases, an organization or government entity may be partially at fault. An assets or insurance policy investigation must also take place in order to have a successful claim. Typically, wrongful death cases require an estate to be opened or reopened and a personal representative assigned in order to pursue the claim. The experienced wrongful death attorneys at Washington Injury Counsel will do everything possible to ensure maximum justice is attained for our clients.
Though the statute of limitations for most wrongful death cases in Washington is three years, it’s important to hire an attorney as quickly as possible. Investigation of the claim should happen before memories fade, witnesses disappear or evidence is destroyed. We can’t bring back your loved one, but we can get you financial justice and closure. Don’t wait any longer – call or text Washington Injury Counsel at 206-984-9797 for a free, confidential, no-obligation case review.
