Serious Injury & Wrongful Death FAQs
What qualifies as a serious injury?

A serious injury is one that results in long term or permanent damage, such as brain trauma, spinal cord injuries, amputation, or severe burns. These injuries often impact a person’s ability to work or live independently.

Wrongful death occurs when someone dies due to another party’s negligence or misconduct. Common examples include fatal car crashes, medical malpractice, unsafe premises, or defective products.

In Washington State, a wrongful death claim can typically be filed by the personal representative of the deceased’s estate, on behalf of surviving family members like a spouse, child, or parent.

You may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, funeral costs, lost income, loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and other damages depending on the specifics of the case.

In Washington, the statute of limitations for personal injury and wrongful death claims is generally three years from the date of injury or death. However, acting quickly is crucial to preserving evidence and building a strong case.

Not always. Many cases are resolved through negotiation or mediation. However, if a fair settlement can’t be reached, our experienced trial attorneys are prepared to take your case to court.

We combine decades of trial experience with compassionate, client first service. Our team fights tirelessly for families affected by devastating injuries or loss and we don’t get paid unless we win.
