Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in Tacoma?
In Washington, certain family members are eligible to file a wrongful death claim on behalf of the deceased. These individuals include:
- Spouse or Domestic Partner: The spouse or legally recognized domestic partner of the deceased is often the primary party eligible to file.
- Children and Stepchildren: If the deceased had children or stepchildren, they may also have the right to pursue a wrongful death claim.
- Parents and Siblings: In cases where the deceased has no spouse, partner, or children, their parents or siblings may be eligible to file.
Our experienced wrongful death attorneys can help you navigate this process and determine which family members are eligible to pursue compensation.
How a wrongful death lawyer can help your family
Pursuing a wrongful death claim can be emotionally exhausting, especially when dealing with the complexities of the legal system. Hiring an experienced wrongful death lawyer ensures that your case is handled with the care and attention it deserves. Our attorneys will:

Our goal is to handle the legal complexities, so you can focus on healing and spending time with your family.

Common damages in these cases include funeral and burial expenses (compensation for the cost of laying your loved one to rest), medical bills (any medical expenses incurred before your loved one’s passing), loss of income (compensation for the loss of financial support, including future earnings your loved one would have contributed), pain and suffering (damages for the emotional anguish and grief your family has experienced), and loss of companionship (compensation for the loss of the love, care, and companionship your loved one provided).
