Wrongful Death Attorney In Lima, Ohio

Have You Lost A Loved One Due To A Wrongful Or Neglectful Act?

As an experienced personal injury attorney in Lima, Ohio, I have helped countless families who have suffered the devastating loss of a loved one as a result of someone else’s negligence. When death is caused by another person’s wrongful actions or carelessness, the survivors can file a wrongful death claim to seek justice and financial compensation for their losses. 


Filing a wrongful death claim can seem overwhelming to grieving families, so it is my job to help them understand their rights and navigate the legal process. In order to make a successful wrongful death claim, the survivor must prove that the deceased was killed due to someone else’s negligence or wrongful conduct. This could include cases of medical malpractice, car accidents caused by another driver’s reckless behavior, product defects that cause fatal injuries, and more.

How Do I File a Wrongful Death Claim?

The first step in filing a wrongful death claim is selecting an experienced attorney who understands the complexities of this type of case. An experienced lawyer will be able to provide you with compassionate support while helping you gather evidence and build your case. They will also help you determine who should be listed as plaintiffs in the case and how much compensation should be sought from each defendant. 


It is important for you to choose an attorney who understands your goals and will work tirelessly on your behalf throughout the process. Your lawyer should be knowledgeable about local laws and will strive for maximum compensation for your family's losses. They should also communicate clearly with you throughout the legal process so that you always know what is happening with your case. 

What Kinds of Compensation Might a Wrongful Death Settlement Provide?

 I understand that no amount of money can make up for the tragic loss of a loved one. However, a wrongful death settlement can provide financial compensation that can help surviving family members cope with some of the financial strain caused by their loved one’s death. 


Typically, a wrongful death settlement will provide compensation for medical costs related to an illness or injury which resulted in the decedent's death. It may also cover lost wages and benefits if they were employed at the time of their passing. Funeral and burial expenses may also be compensated by a wrongful death settlement.


In addition to these economic damages, compensation for non-economic losses such as emotional distress and suffering is also included in many wrongful death settlements. This type of damages typically includes compensation for pain and suffering that the deceased experienced prior to their passing as well as grieving survivors’ emotional trauma from losing their loved one. A court may also award punitive damages in certain cases if it is determined that the defendant’s conduct was particularly egregious or reckless.


Every case is unique and only an experienced attorney like myself can determine how much potential compensation your family might receive from a wrongful death settlement.
