Kitsap County Wrongful Death Lawyer

Wrongful Death Cases in Kitsap, Clallam & Jefferson Counties

When an individual dies due to the negligent act of another, whether a person or corporate entity, the close family has the legal right to pursue compensation. This is a form of justice that can be sought in civil court.

Many wrongful death claims are settled prior to litigation, but it could be necessary to take a case to court if an insurance company fails to come through with a reasonable settlement offer, and within a reasonable length of time.

These are extremely tragic circumstances, and the close family is struggling with a great deal of emotional loss, and it can be troublesome to consider taking legal action. In fact, this type of action can be very important to the family, as there can be extensive financial damage beyond the personal losses. Contact our Kitsap personal injury attorney at the firm for the trustworthy legal guidance you deserve.
