Washington lets the personal representative recover the economic and noneconomic damages of the spouse, children, or parents and siblings, and, since 2019, the decedent's own pain and suffering. There is no cap, fault is pure comparative, and you have three years.
Enter the economic, beneficiary and survival damages, and set the fault split.
Washington's wrongful death statute, RCW 4.20.010, gives the personal representative an action for the economic and noneconomic damages of the beneficiaries listed in RCW 4.20.020.
The decedent's own pain and suffering is recoverable under RCW 4.20.060, and the claim must be filed within three years.
A local personal injury attorney can review your claim — many offer a free consultation.
