Wrongful Death Attorney – Seeking Justice for Your Loss in Washington
Compassionate Support in Tragic Times
The loss of a loved one caused by another’s negligence is one of the hardest experiences a family can face. At Bluhm Morgan PLLC, our wrongful death attorneys in Tumwater and Olympia provide compassionate legal representation to families seeking justice after a preventable tragedy.
A wrongful death claim allows surviving family members to pursue compensation when someone’s reckless or careless actions lead to a fatal accident. While no amount of money can replace your loved one, holding the responsible party accountable can ease financial burdens and bring a sense of closure.
What Qualifies as a Wrongful Death
Wrongful death cases can arise from many situations where negligence or misconduct causes loss of life. These include fatal car accidents, deadly workplace incidents, unsafe premises conditions, or defective products. Families throughout Thurston County and neighboring areas turn to our firm for help understanding their rights.
In Washington, wrongful death claims are typically filed by the personal representative of the deceased person’s estate, acting on behalf of surviving family members such as a spouse, children, or parents. We help clients through every stage of this process with care and clarity.
Fighting for the Compensation Your Family Deserves
A wrongful death settlement or verdict may cover a wide range of losses, including:
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Medical costs related to the fatal injury
- Lost income and benefits the deceased would have provided
- Loss of companionship and emotional support
While no legal outcome can heal emotional wounds,
pursuing justice can help secure your family’s financial stability and prevent future harm to others. Our firm approaches every case with respect for the memory of your loved one and a commitment to meaningful results

Frequently Asked Questions about
Wrongful Death
How long do I have to file a wrongful death lawsuit in Washington?
Generally, you have three years from the date of death to file a wrongful death claim. Because evidence fades and records can be lost over time, contacting an attorney early is crucial to preserve your right to compensation.
How is a wrongful death claim different from a criminal case?
A wrongful death case is a civil action focused on financial recovery, separate from any criminal prosecution. You can file a wrongful death claim even if no criminal charges were filed.
What does it cost to hire a wrongful death lawyer?
Bluhm Morgan PLLC handles these cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay no upfront costs and owe nothing unless we recover compensation for your family.
