Understanding Wrongful Death Claims in Washington State

What is a Wrongful Death Claim? It is a civil lawsuit filed on behalf of the surviving family members when a person’s death is caused by the wrongful act or negligence of another person or entity.
Who Can File a Lawsuit? Under Washington State law, the lawsuit must be filed by the “Personal Representative” of the deceased person’s estate. The compensation recovered from the lawsuit benefits the statutory beneficiaries, such as the spouse, children, and parents.
What is the Time Limit to File? The statute of limitations for wrongful death claims in Washington is generally three years from the date of death. If you miss this deadline, you may permanently lose your right to file a claim.
