Wrongful Death

What is a wrongful death lawsuit? When someone dies due to another person’s negligence or a company, the survivors (parents, spouse, etc.) can file a lawsuit claiming wrongful death. These lawsuits seek wages from the deceased, lost companionship, and funeral expenses.


A wide variety of people can be held liable for wrongful death suits. For example, if the death was caused by medical malpractice, the doctors, nurses, and aids can be held liable. In a death caused by a car accident, the driver, designer, or builders of the faulty roadway, the government agency that failed to provide adequate warnings regarding a road hazard, the manufacturer, distributor, or installer of a defective part of the vehicle, etc. all could be held liable.


Three types of damages can be awarded to survivors in a wrongful death lawsuit. They are economic damages, non-economic damages, and punitive damages.

Serious Injuries 

Many different injuries can occur when there is a car versus pedestrian accident. Five primary and severe injuries are traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, fractures, amputations, and herniated discs. If you or a loved one has suffered from a serious injury, Monro Law Firm, P.S. Inc., can help!

  • Traumatic Brain Injuries

    A traumatic brain injury can occur when the head strikes a hard object, such as the car windshield or the pavement. It can also happen when the head rapidly and roughly goes from one point to another, causing the brain to smash against the skull inside the head. Brain injuries range from mild to severe. Mild injuries can cause a brief change in mental status and consciousness. Severe injuries can cause an extended period of unconsciousness or amnesia.

  • Spinal Cord Injuries

    There are two types of spinal cord injuries: incomplete and complete. The spinal cord is partially severed in an incomplete injury. The person retains some function depending on the severity of the injury. In complete spinal cord injury, the spinal cord is severed all the way the through. The function is severely affected, but the person may continue to have some sensation.


    • Anterior Cord—occurs to the front of the spinal cord and damages motor and sensory pathways. This injury causes a struggle with movement but leaves some sensation.
    • Central Cord—occurs at the back of the center of the spinal cord and damages the nerves that carry signals from the brain to the spinal cord. This injury causes loss of fine motor skills, paralysis of the arms, and partial impairment of the legs.
    • Brown‐Sequard Syndrome—occurs on one side or the other of the spinal cord. This injury causes a struggle with movement on only one side of the body, whereas the other side is unaffected.
  • Fractures

    Multiple body parts can become fractured during a pedestrian versus car accident. These include but are not limited to arms, legs, back, pelvis, ribs, and back. Where the fracture occurs depends on where the pedestrian was struck and how and where they landed. Fortunately, most fractures can be treated and heal in a few weeks to a few months.

  • Amputations

    An amputation is when a limb (all or part of an arm or leg) is surgically removed to treat an injury. An amputation is performed when there is poor blood flow, or the area is severely injured.

  • Herniated Disks

    A herniated disk can occur anywhere along the spine but mostly affects the neck or lower back. “When one of the cushion‐like pads between the vertebrae moves out” of place and pushes on the adjacent nerves. Typically, it will heal in 6 months, but in some cases, surgery may be needed.

Defective Drugs & Medical Devices

If your doctor prescribed the drug, and the pharmacist dispensed it, you probably believed your medication was safe. All too often, however, patients suffer severe health problems — even death — from defective or improperly prescribed drugs.


If you have been harmed or lost a loved one because of a defective drug, the Snohomish defective drug lawyers at Monro Law Firm P.S. Inc. can help. We will thoroughly evaluate whether you have a claim for damages based on defective drugs and provide you with knowledgeable, responsive representation throughout your case. 

Mesothelioma

A type of cancer called mesothelioma develops in the thin tissue layer covering most of your internal organs (mesothelium). An aggressive and fatal form of cancer is mesothelioma. Unfortunately, asbestos exposure is the most common cause of mesothelioma in patients. Shortness of breath is one of the most common deadly health consequences that mesothelioma victims experience, often resulting in death. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma due to asbestos, Monro Law Firm P.S. Inc. can help!

Maritime Injuries

Accidents at sea can result in serious injuries and death, as in other workplace accidents. However, offshore accidents are not like other workplace accidents in other respects. They involve complicated areas of law and unusual circumstances best handled by an experienced attorney.


These cases can be complicated partly because they fall under different areas of law than other workplace injuries. Ship owners and companies employing offshore workers are responsible for the safety of their employees. They must provide free medical care and basic living expenses to injured seamen and other offshore workers.
