What money damages are recoverable in a death claim?

Every death from an accident is tragic. When a death is the result of someone else’s negligence, certain survivors may make a wrongful death claim against those responsible.

My heart is broken for you. Love you always Patty and Jim

Heart goes out to the family for this tragic accident.

Also, The location data is inaccurate. It's just East of King County (about 55 mile East of Seattle). The location is a few hundred miles from Richland, Pasco, Kennewick, etc.

On behalf of the entire Whitworth University community, my heartfelt prayers go out to the family and to all of those who love Sarrah. May the peace of Christ be yours. Beck Taylor, president, Whitworth University

You always had a smile for everyone Sarrah. We have such a small community but you were such a big part of it. I will miss seeing you at the coffee shop and around the Pass. I am saying prayers for your family. Cindy

Thank you from the Powers Family for your thoughts and prayers.

Our daughters grew up together and this is simply tragic. The Brett family sends heartfelt condolences to family and friends of Sarrah. May she rest in peace and watch over you. God's blessings to you all during this very difficult time.

My deepest sympathy to the entire Powers family, my heart and prayers go out to you!
