What Is a Wrongful Death Case?
A wrongful death occurs when a person dies because of another party’s negligent or unlawful act—such as a crash, dangerous property, medical negligence, or a defective product.
Who Can File & Who Receives Compensation in Washington
In Washington, the claim is typically filed by the personal representative of the estate on behalf of eligible family members. Beneficiaries generally include a spouse or state‑registered domestic partner, children (including stepchildren). If none, parents or siblings may benefit. (We’ll confirm your family’s eligibility during your consultation.)
How Long Do We Have to File?
Washington law generally allows three years to bring a wrongful death action. Because critical evidence (video, records, witness memories) can fade quickly, contacting an attorney early helps protect your case.
Compensation in a Tacoma Wrongful Death Case

Wrongful Death vs. Survival Claims in Washington
Washington allows bereaved families to bring a wrongful death claim for their losses and a survival claim on behalf of the estate for harms the decedent suffered before passing. We evaluate both to maximize recovery.

“Very professional, and treated me as an equal.”
"Just wanted to say thank you to Jed and his team at Strong Law. Not only was I happy with the outcome, but the entire process as a whole. I would definitely recommend this firm to anyone. Thanks again."
“Unbelievable work!”
"I had a claim involving my own insurance company. I tried to negotiate with them, and they completely denied my claim – two times. I then hired Strong Law, and the change was instant. The insurance company immediately began negotiating, and Jed was able to secure an unbelievably good settlement. I will never again attempt to take-on an insurance company without Strong Law in my corner. Thank you!"
“I got justice and awesome compensation.”
"I hired Strong Law after my car accident. Jed and his team worked hard on my case. They were professional and compassionate through my surgery and as I recovered, and they were awesome on communication. I got justice and awesome compensation. I would recommend Strong Law to anyone in my situation."
