Understanding Wrongful Death Claims
A wrongful death claim arises when an individual dies due to the negligent or intentional actions of another party. These claims seek compensation for the survivors’ loss, including lost wages from the deceased, funeral expenses, and emotional suffering.
In Ohio, establishing wrongful death requires proving the duty of care was violated by the defendant and that this breach directly caused the death. Our knowledgeable team has a comprehensive understanding of these legal standards and can effectively represent your interests.

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in Ohio?
In Ohio, the executor or personal representative of the deceased’s estate is the person who files a wrongful death claim. This is typically a close family member such as a spouse, parent, or child. The claim is filed on behalf of all family members who are suffering financial or emotional hardships because of the deceased person's passing.
Our legal experts at Brandon J. Broderick focus on supporting families during these tough times by ensuring that the eligible family members receive fair compensation for their loss.
Compensation in Wrongful Death Cases
The compensation awarded in wrongful death cases aims to remunerate family members for both financial and emotional losses. This can include: - Economic damages: Loss of financial contributions the deceased would have made, costs for care, and funeral expenses. - Non-economic damages: Loss of companionship, care, advice, and emotional suffering resulting from the loss.
Each wrongful death case is unique, and our attorneys assess every aspect to maximize the compensation for your losses, ensuring you receive justice.
