Do I need an attorney to pursue an Ohio wrongful death case?

A: In almost every Ohio wrongful death case, it is a good idea to consult a personal injury attorney who has experience with wrongful death claims. The law that pertains to wrongful death in Ohio is complex. An attorney can help determine who is entitled to bring a case and who is entitled to damages for the wrongful death. The attorney will help put a value on the case and make sure that all damages are covered, including:

•    Loss of Companionship
•    Mental Anguish
•    Past Medical Expenses
•    Loss of Income
•    Funeral and Burial Expenses
•    Loss of Consortium
•    Loss of Support
•    Loss of Benefits (pension, medical coverage, etc.)
•    Loss of Care
•    General Damages
•    Punitive or Exemplary Damages

An attorney's investigation may also reveal other potential defendants who are responsible for the death who are more capable of paying damages.
