“The dead cannot cry out for justice. It is a duty of the living to do so for them.”
— Lois McMaster Bujold

​

Losing a loved one because of another’s negligence or misconduct is one of the most painful experiences anyone can endure. While no legal outcome can undo that loss, holding the responsible party accountable can bring a sense of justice and help provide financial stability for the family left behind.

​

Our firm represents the survivors of wrongful death victims—parents who have lost children, children who have lost parents, and spouses who have lost their partners. We provide compassionate, steady guidance throughout the legal process while aggressively pursuing accountability and compensation from the person or entity at fault.

​

What We Do

​

As experienced wrongful death attorneys in Washington, we help families understand their rights and pursue claims under the state’s Wrongful Death statutes. These laws identify specific family members (called statutory beneficiaries) who may bring a lawsuit when a loved one’s death results from another’s negligent or intentional act.

​

We handle wrongful death cases arising from:

​

• Auto accidents, including drunk driving, reckless driving, and unsafe trucking practices

• Bicycle accidents, caused by aggressive or inattentive drivers

• Pedestrian accidents, including failures to yield at crosswalks or intersections

• Highway safety and government liability, involving negligent road design or maintenance

• Dangerous premises, such as fatal slip-and-fall accidents, falling merchandise, negligent maintenance, or inadequate security

​

How a Wrongful Death Claim Helps

​

A wrongful death lawsuit allows surviving family members to hold the responsible party legally accountable and seek financial recovery for medical expenses, funeral costs, lost income, and emotional suffering. While no amount of compensation can replace a loved one, it can help ease the financial burden and provide closure by affirming responsibility for the harm caused.

​

Our team works with care and determination to ensure each case is handled with dignity, respect, and a clear focus on justice.
