Whenever a death occurs, loved ones are bound to feel sadness, grief, and remorse. When a death is wrongful, however, people often experience additional emotions such as anger and confusion. A death is wrongful when another’s conduct results in the death of a victim. Often, the victim leaves behind surviving family members and dependents who will undoubtedly suffer as a result of the victim’s death. If a death is wrongful, the survivors of the victim may be entitled to compensation, subject to certain statutory restraints such as the applicable statute of limitations and damage caps. In Ohio, potential compensation includes future lost wages, costs of past medical bills, funeral bills, and the victim’s life or services.
