Wrongful Death and Drunk Driving

Although construction site and dangerous property accidents are responsible for many wrongful deaths, drunk drivers cause a disproportionate number of wrongful deaths on the highways and roadways of Western Washington. If you have lost a loved one to a drunk driving accident, we can help you. While the drunken driver may be criminally tried and convicted, a criminal conviction will not compensate you for funeral expenses, medical bills, lost earnings or the loss of the love and affection of a spouse, parent or child. To recoup those losses, you must bring a civil claim for their wrongful death.

What Insurance Companies Don't Tell You

Often, insurance companies will try to deny or minimize claims under life insurance and accidental death insurance policies. We have experience representing individuals who have been wrongfully denied coverage under an insurance policy, due to unfair efforts by insurance companies.

Contact a caring Bellevue wrongful death attorney for a free consultation, and get the facts you need about the compensation to which you may be entitled.
