Wrongful Death in Ohio
Bringing a wrongful death claim - Losing a loved one in a tragic accident is devastating. In such a
situation, however, it is important to act promptly to secure the surviving family members’ legal rights. Ohio allows a personal representative of the decedent to bring a civil action for the exclusive benefit of the surviving spouse, the children, and the parents of the deceased, all of whom are rebuttably presumed to have suffered damages, and for the exclusive benefit of the other next of kin of the decedent.
Know your rights and protect them. Accidents may happen, but if you or someone you know has lost a loved one due to the careless, negligent acts of another, you are entitled to compensation.
