Q. What is a wrongful death?
A. Whenever someone dies as the result of negligence, a defective product or a deliberate act, a wrongful death has occurred.
Q. What is the difference between a wrongful death and a murder?
A. Wrongful death is a civil claim in which a person, loved one or family member seeks to recover a judgment as compensation for the passing of a loved one. Murder is a criminal judgment which seeks to compensate loved ones by punishing the perpetrator through time in prison. In some cases, while proof beyond a reasonable doubt cannot be proven, civil liability can still be secured.
If a family member of yours has died financial compensation is problably the last thing on your mind. However, your deceased loved one may have wanted you to pursue a settlement and time is sensitive for these types of claims. To learn more visit our Renton Wrongful Death Lawyers.

When someone dies due to the recklessness or negligence of someone there should be, at the very least, financial compensation for the victims family. This is called a wrongful death lawsuit. A wrongful death claim is different than most personal injury or negligence claims. Originally “common law” , did not support these claims because if the victim was dead there was no one to make the claim. The family members could not receive financial compensation, but now is a different story. All 50 states, including Washington, have now passed wrongful death statutes that provide rewards for families who were hurt from the death of the victim.
If a family member of your has died in Washington due to the recklessness of another, financial compensation may be an option with help of qualified legal counsel. In the State of Washington, you have 3 years to file a wrongful death lawsuit. If you are unsure if you have a case or want to file one, you are welcome to contact our Renton Wrongful death lawyers an initial consultation free of charge.
