What Is Wrongful Death?

Wrongful death is the death of a person as a result of the tortious conduct of another person or legal entity. In simple terms, it is the death of a person caused by another’s wrongdoing.

A wrongful death action is a civil action for damages brought by the victim’s survivors, separate from a criminal proceeding.

What Are The Causes Of Wrongful Death?

There are various ways in which a wrongful death claim can arise, but they originate from the negligence of another person, company, or agency causing a person’s death. The most common cause of wrongful death claims includes, but are not limited to:

Any act of negligence can be the cause of a wrongful death claim. According to the CDC, wrongful death is part of the top 3 leading causes of death in Ohio.

What Is Involved In A Wrongful Death Claim?

In order to prevail on a wrongful death claim, a plaintiff must prove:

  • A wrongful act, neglect, or default of another person caused the death of your loved one
  • The decedent was survived by a spouse, child, parent, or other next of kin
  • The survivor suffered damages by reasons of the wrongful death

There is no specific amount one should expect from a wrongful death claim. There are many factors surrounding the case that is going to determine the amount one can receive for a wrongful death claim, including the parties involved and the needs of family members left behind.

In Ohio, you can typically recover damages for:
