Who Can File A Wrongful Death Claim in Stanwood

Most often, wrongful death claims are filed by the closest surviving family member. This might be a spouse, but it can also be a child, sibling, or parent.

In 2019, Washington state expanded parents’ ability to file wrongful death claims on their adult children. Prior to that, parents in Stanwood could not file for wrongful death claims if their child was over 18 unless they could prove financial dependence on the child. Now though, parents are able to receive the justice they deserve in the case of wrongful death of an adult child.

Filing a claim, whether it’s for an adult child or other loved one, can be complicated. Professional guidance is a good idea. Call the law office of Rico Tessandore to learn how they can help you file a wrongful death claim.

I would highly recommend Rico Tessandore. He's responsive, knowledgeable, professional, ethical, and a pleasure to work with. Rico genuinely cares about his clients, and he works hard to get them the best possible outcome. I consulted with Rico after a tripping-and-falling incident. I had some medical expenses and wanted some advice. Rico listened to what I had to say and went to work for me. I can't thank him enough for all the work he did. He went way above and beyond my expectations. I can't say enough good things about him and his staff.

Rico represented me in a motor vehicle accident, which occurred just weeks before my wedding. I was injured, stressed, and felt like my life was unraveling. Rico listened to me, and was not just a wonderful attorney, but also a great friend throughout the process. Rico was a tremendous help to me and my family, and I am forever grateful. I could not have asked for a better attorney.

What Do You Need To Prove In a Wrongful Death Lawsuit?

In a wrongful death lawsuit, surviving family members need to prove two things:
The death of the loved one was caused due to the negligence or recklessness of the other party. Negligence could be on the part of a healthcare provider or an employer. Or, a loved one may have passed due to someone else’s reckless driving habits. The point is that your loved one’s death wasn’t due to their own mistake; it was because of someone else’s action or inaction.
The surviving family has suffered damages due to their loved one’s death. This can include medical bills, burial expenses, as well as compensation for pain and suffering.

Who Pays In a Wrongful Death Lawsuit?

The party deemed responsible for the loved one’s death must pay compensation to the surviving family members that filed the suit. This can take the form of an individual, a company, or other organization.

Typically, several insurance policies are involved, and that’s where professional help is extremely valuable. A wrongful death attorney will be able to sort through those policies, pursuing the right avenues to get the surviving family the greatest compensation possible.

Lawsuits like this do have a “statute of limitations,” which means you only have a certain amount of time after your loved one’s passing to file the suit. It’s essential to call a wrongful death lawyer right away to discuss your options.

Rico Tessandore is experienced in wrongful death lawsuits and understands how hard they can be on surviving family. Call him to learn how Rico Tessandore Law can help you through this challenging time while getting your lost loved one the justice they deserve.
