Understanding wrongful death claims

• A wrongful death case can arise in various ways,
  but they all revolve around someone losing their
  life due to the careless, negligent, or
  intentional actions of another individual,
  business, or entity. Under Ohio law, the
  following people can bring a wrongful death
  claim
• Spouse
• Children, including
• adopted children
• Surviving parents

4
Common Cleveland wrongful death cases

• It is impossible to list all of the ways a
  wrongful death case can arise. Some of the most
  common cases they handle include
• Vehicle Accidents
• Pedestrian and bicycle accidents
• Product Liability
• Medical Mistakes
• Workplace Accidents
• Birth injuries
• Nursing home abuse and neglect
• Premises incidents
• Criminal Activity (even if the death was
  unintentional)
• This is not a complete list, and you should
  always speak to a wrongful death attorney about
  your specific case

5
Ohio law also specifies that there is a two-year
statute of limitations in place for those people
to file a wrongful death claim. There are certain
cases where this time frame can be extended to 10
years after the date of death, particularly if
the death happened due to a dangerous or
defective product. Due to these tight time
frames, you should speak to an attorney as soon
as possible to get your case started. These cases
usually involve extensive investigation, and your
attorney will work to gather all evidence needed
in the case, including eyewitness accounts,
accident reports, available surveillance, medical
records, and more.
