Wrongful Death Of A Minor Child: The Changing Parental Injury, Anon
Wrongful Death Of A Minor Child: The Changing Parental Injury, Anon
Washington Law Review
In Washington, an action may be brought by a parent for the wrongful death of a child along either of two statutory avenues. The general wrongful death statute creates a right of action in the decedent's personal representative for the benefit of parents who may be dependent upon the deceased for support. Under the so-called "child-death" statute, an action may be maintained directly by a parent. No requirement of dependency obtains where the deceased was a minor.
