Even though you may be overcome with profound grief following the sudden and unexpected death of a loved one, you still need to consider the financial well-being of you and your family.  Medical bills, funeral bills, and the loss of household income can quickly drain your bank accounts.  Obtaining justice is very important, but so are keeping food on the table and your children safe and comfortable.

In Ohio, wrongful death survivors may be entitled to compensation for economic and non-economic damages arising from the death.

Economic damages include:

Funeral and burial expenses
Loss of financial support
Loss of household services
Loss of prospective inheritance

Non-economic damages include:

Grief and mental anguish
Loss of society

There are no caps in Ohio on the amounts wrongful death survivors can recover for the economic and non-economic damages they suffer.

Understanding and recovering wrongful death damages can be complex. An experienced wrongful death attorney can assist you in properly documenting these damages and with the identification of viable sources of recovery. Transferring these burdens to an experienced attorney will provide you with peace of mind so that you can focus more on the emotional well-being of you and your family.

While money is no substitute for a loved one lost to the carelessness of another, our civil justice system provides some measure of justice through wrongful death damages.
