Suicide cases and wrongful death in Washington State
Our firm represented the 36-year-old widow of a Washington State Trooper who went to the hospital and said he was having suicidal ideations. He was admitted, but then walked out of the hospital without approval, went home and took his own life. We were able to recover one of the largest settlements on record in the State of Washington for a claim of wrongful death involving suicide. In addition to financial recovery, we were able to make a change, prompting better practices in the hospital.
