Wrongful Death

A claim for Wrongful Death arises when a person has died because of another party’s negligent behavior or intentional harm.  Wrongful death cases are legally complex and emotionally demanding for the surviving family members.  It is essential to have compassionate, skilled legal representation throughout every phase of your case.  The attorneys and staff of Margullis, Luedtke & Ray, PLLC, have the legal expertise and emotional support you need at this most critical time.  

Washington state statutes govern who can bring a Wrongful Death claim.  Usually, immediate family members qualify as persons eligible to bring a Wrongful Death action.  State and federal statutes limit the time in which to file a Wrongful Death claim.  Whether your loved one’s death is due to medical negligence, a drunk driver, an unsafe workplace, defective product, or negligence of a governmental agency, Rod Ray, Sherilee Luedtke and the experienced paralegal staff of Margullis, Luedtke & Ray PLLC are available to investigate the particular circumstances of your loss and develop a comprehensive case analysis for you and your family.  This service is complimentary.  Should our investigation reveal facts sufficient on which to proceed, we are paid on a contingency basis, which means we only earn attorneys fees if we achieve a negotiated settlement, arbitration or jury award in your favor.  Contact us for an appointment to discuss your potential claim with our attorneys.
