Legal Action after Wrongful Death

Legal Action after Wrongful Death
There are few words to offer people who lose a loved one prematurely. I have handled wrongful death matters in the Seattle area for more than a decade, and no case is any less troubling than the last. Life is a gift, and when it is taken away through the negligence or mistake of another, words are just not enough to comfort the family of the victim.

But there is much that can be done. Though life is irretrievably lost, our culture uses laws to require a wrongdoer to pay for ending the life of another. Money will not buy back his familiar smile or the silly phase that only she used, but it can provide crucial economic support for the future.

A wrongful death case in Washington is brought by a personal representative of the immediate family of the deceased. In the aftermath of wrongful death, you must contact good legal counsel as soon as possible.

While the time limit for filing a wrongful death action is three years, valuable evidence, testimony, and documentation can be quickly destroyed or forgotten. While a family grieves, our firm gathers needed information to create a strong case for settlement or litigation.

When the unthinkable occurs — there are no words that adequately express profound loss. If your loved one was taken too soon, take action to secure your future, and the future of your family damaged by the negligence of another. Get in touch with a knowledgeable Bellevue wrongful death lawyer right away.

I highly recommend Dax Jones. I have had the honor to have him help me twice in a car accident. He responded right away when I needed help with my injury claims. He followed up with my medical providers in making sure treatment was going well. I also appreciated his honesty about what expect from my settlement and much more. He's an experienced attorney his work proved it. If you need an exceptional attorney this is the one. Thank you Dax

With recommendation, I switched to The Jones Firm after my first attorney failed to close my case after 14month and no communication. My case was about to go to the court, however, Dax and his team was able to settle the claim with max compensation within 5 months he took over my case! I loved fact that Dax reach out to me personally and give me an updates time to time so I know where we are in the case…so much less stress for me knowing my case is taking cared of! Highly recommended to those of you who is looking for professional, knowledgeable and well communicated personal injury lawyer, this Firm is all you need!!

Got hit by a car while crossing the street, and ended up with a fractured knee. A neighbor gave me Dax Jones number, and after not knowing what I could do he took all my worries away. Listened to all my worries and made everything so much easier to deal with. So grateful for all his help and getting things done.

The Jones firm was recommended to me by a friend of my daughters at the time of my accident. I spoke with Dax shortly after that and felt very comfortable speaking with him, knowing that he would do what was best for me. He was very diligent with communication and was always willing to help me with any confusion that I might’ve had. He would look it up and clarify it and make sure I had the correct information . He never made me feel like I was an inconvenience and always made me feel like he was happy to help me. So if you need a lawyer who's real people, he’s the one for you. I can’t thank all of them enough.

I cannot recommend Jones Law Firm highly enough. From start to finish, my experience was seamless, professional, and reassuring. Dax was incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and truly took the time to explain every step of the process so I always felt informed and confident.
