Why Do I Need A Wrongful Death Lawyer?
Losing a family member is tragic, especially if your loss could have been prevented. You may be dealing with funerary fees, medical bills, and even a lengthy battle with an insurance provider – but these pale in comparison to the grief you’re dealing with.
When you’ve experienced loss, you shouldn’t have to worry about who’s paying the bills. And if your loss was due to someone else’s negligence, you shouldn’t have to pay out of pocket. In fact, the responsible parties need to be held accountable for their lack of care and attention. After all, it’s what led to your loss in the first place.
When you contact your Tacoma wrongful death lawyer, you’re taking a step towards financial compensation, and some much-needed closure. If a family member died in a preventable accident, your legal team can investigate the specifics to determine who else can – and should – be held accountable. And while you’re focusing on grieving, that same accidental death lawyer can also handle any issues with your medical fees, funerary expenses, and even insurance providers who aren’t paying what you’re owed.
Wrongful death lawyers can help you through the aftermath of a fatal accident, and they can make sure whoever was at fault is held accountable: a drunk driver, a negligent property owner, or even a company that failed to maintain safety standards. But when you’re looking for lawyers, you need to make sure you’re dealing with an experienced team.

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

“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!"
