The legal term “wrongful death” is easy to misinterpret
by the layman. It is defined as the
taking of a life of one or more individuals due to a willful or negligent act
of another. We have seen these claims in
the news many times where the survivors file a wrongful death suit against the
person whom they believed took the life of their loved one in a willful manner.
It is important to understand that such a suit may be
brought against someone even if the act was deemed unintentional. For example if someone is driving and causes
the death of another that may well be considered negligence. Even in an innocuous situation of a home
owner who has a swimming pool that is not properly fenced in they may be sued
for wrongful death if a child wanders into the area and drowns.
There are many different situations in which a wrongful
death suit may be filed. You may be the
defendant or the plaintiff. Either way,
if you live in Eastern Washington you need aggressive representation. Contact Spokane wrongful death attorney Craig
