OHIO WRONGFUL DEATH LAWYERS

Wrongful Death Attorneys

The unexpected and untimely death of a loved one is a uniquely awful hardship for a family to suffer. Losing a spouse or child due to someone else’s actions is a tragedy on a monumental scale.


In many cases, the tragedy goes beyond emotional pain to financial damage. This is especially the case when a household loses a significant source of income or benefits due to the wrongful death.


No amount of compensation can undue a wrongful death, but in many cases, money is necessary to ensure a personal tragedy doesn’t also become a financial disaster.

Wrongful Deaths Can Have Far-Reaching Consequences

There are some obvious costs associated with the death of a loved one, like emergency medical care and funeral costs. Other costs are harder to quantify, like loss of consortium (loss of companionship) or lost future earnings potential. Some costs are fairly easy to calculate but can get astronomically high very quickly (like decades of health care, retirement savings, etc.).


All those costs, and more, should be considered when negotiating a settlement for a loved one’s wrongful death. Your lawyer’s experience and abilities may play a significant role in determining your eventual wrongful death settlement. The size of that settlement may be vital for your family’s ability to maintain the same quality of life or living standards.


There’s a lot on the line in wrongful death cases. Getting justice for a loved one is important, but so is the continued health and comfort of your family. The Buckeye Law Group  will be committed to aggressively representing your interests during the wrongful death process.

Calculating Wrongful Death Damages Is Complicated

No one likes thinking about the dollar value of their own life, but as far as the law is concerned, it is theoretically possible to quantify your monetary value to your family. That dollar value isn’t necessarily tied solely to a person’s income. It’s often primarily derived from their responsibilities and obligations.


If an adult with no children, no spouse and no dependents passed away in an accident, their surviving relatives or parents might struggle to win a sizeable wrongful death claim. The basic idea of a wrongful death case is to ensure surviving family members can maintain the same quality of life now and in the future. If no family members were relying on the deceased’s income or benefits, surviving family members might not be able to collect those types of damages.


However, if that same person supports a spouse and two children, the appropriate damages for the surviving dependents could be massive.
