WRONGFUL DEATH

Wrongful Death Lawyers

Cincinnati, Ohio

The last thing a grieving family wants to pursue when a loved one passes due to another’s negligence is a wrongful death lawsuit. Yet with the Ohio wrongful death statute of limitations, it is necessary to act as soon as possible after the death occurs. Waiting too long to place a wrongful death lawsuit also compromises important evidence.

Although wrongful death is not usually intentional, any person, municipality, or company found to have committed a careless, negligent act resulting in death can be held liable. The burden of proof in wrongful death cases lies with the plaintiff.

Examples of situations commonly evaluated for wrongful death action are medical malpractice, car accidents, personal injury, jobsite accidents including construction and workplace, and even exposure to a toxin such as asbestos that may take decades to kill the victim.

According to Ohio wrongful death law, the victim’s dependents have a right to recover compensation for the following:

• funeral expenses
• lost wages
• medical expenses
• loss of companionship
