Ohio Law Limits Who Can Benefit from a Wrongful Death Payout
Ohio law limits who can recover a payout in a wrongful death case. The state only allows a personal representative to take legal action on behalf of the surviving family. Eligible family members who may receive compensation include:
- A surviving and legally married spouse
- Minor children of the deceased
- Adult children of the deceased
- The parents of the deceased, either together or separately
If other family members, often siblings or grandparents, can prove they suffered financial losses as a result of their loved one’s death, they may be eligible for economic damages, as well.
