A wrongful death claim is a legal action filed by the surviving family members or the estate of a person who has died due to the negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct of another party. These claims aim to seek compensation for the losses the family has suffered, such as medical expenses, funeral costs, loss of income, and the emotional pain of losing a loved one.

In Ohio, a wrongful death claim is typically filed by the personal representative of the deceased person’s estate, often on behalf of the surviving family members. Eligible beneficiaries usually include the surviving spouse, children, and parents of the deceased. The compensation awarded in a wrongful death lawsuit is distributed among these family members based on their relationship with the deceased.

In a wrongful death case, compensation may cover a range of economic and non-economic damages, including:

  • Medical expenses: Costs incurred for the deceased person’s treatment before their death.
  • Funeral and burial costs: Expenses related to laying your loved one to rest.
  • Loss of financial support: Compensation for the income and financial contributions the deceased would have provided.
  • Loss of companionship: Damages for the emotional suffering caused by the loss of love, guidance, and companionship.
  • Pain and suffering: Compensation for the mental anguish and emotional distress experienced by surviving family members.

In Ohio, the statute of limitations for filing a wrongful death lawsuit is typically two years from the date of the deceased person’s death. It is crucial to consult with an attorney as soon as possible to ensure your case is filed within this timeframe. Delays can result in losing your right to pursue compensation, so it’s essential to take prompt action.
