Wrongful Death Attorney

You need a wrongful death attorney when a loved one has died in an accident, or was fatally injured by negligence or wrongdoing by a company, individual or organization (such as a hospital or nursing home). You want an experienced trial attorney – a successful specialist in holding people accountable. You have a right to your day in court, and to compensation, for the loss of income, companionship, protection, advice and guidance if you are the surviving spouse, dependent child, parent, or next of kin.

We will discuss whether you have a case and the facts you possess. This is why you should be in contact with us as soon after your loved one has passed, even though it may be painful. You will find us deeply compassionate and determined to support you from sadness through settlement. We are dedicated personal injury lawyers. Ohio law is clear: if the person who died would have been entitled to sue for personal injury, you may sue on their behalf. This is why a wrongful death attorney should be an experienced personal injury lawyer, which we are.

What are we suing to obtain?
You have to live without the deceased. Because you are an immediate family member, or closest surviving relative, you are entitled to compensation for being denied the company of the deceased. The settlement or judgment covers the earnings of the deceased as well as the fact that you have been deprived of their emotional support. Whether the death was caused accidentally or intentionally, as your wrongful death attorney we can bring a civil lawsuit (not a criminal case).

We represent you aggressively in any circumstance resulting in wrongful death:

Most commonly, a wrongful death attorney sues on behalf of spouses and children, and sometimes parents. These legal matters can only be on behalf of a personal representative of the estate of the deceased. Ohio has set procedures governing how wrongful death lawsuits proceed. We know the laws inside and out, and will not only explain them clearly to you, but also use our depth of understanding to forcefully press your case forward. The damage awards may be inherited if there is a will that spells it out.

There are circumstances that must exist for a wrongful death attorney to file your case. The death must have been caused by the conduct of whoever is being sued. The conduct must have been negligent, or the defendant was liable for a victim’s death. There must be a surviving spouse, children, dependents or beneficiaries; the survivors have suffered monetary damages resulting from the death (this can include loss of income, funeral and medical expenses, etc.). This is why you should consult with a wrongful death attorney as soon as possible. We will gather the facts of your situation and determine if all of the necessary circumstances are present to go to bat for you. We will also determine the family representative on whose behalf we file the suit.
