Upon losing a spouse, parent, or child, under Ohio law, survivors may be entitled to damages, including:
- Loss of care, companionship, consortium and support
- Loss of income and health care benefits
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Medical expenses
- Other related damages
- Punitive damages
Fatal accidents occur in situations where negligence or recklessness puts another person in danger. Wrongful death lawsuits may arise out of:
- Nursing home-related falls caused by nursing home negligence. Injury to nursing home residents may occur due to inadequate supervision or safety measures, negligent hiring procedures, poorly trained staff, and improper administration of drugs or medical treatment.
- Car accidents, truck accidents, and motorcycle accidents
- Railroad crossing negligence
- Dog bites or other animal attacks
- Medical malpractice such as improperly prescribed medication, surgical error or other mistakes made during the course of medical treatment or health care
- Work accidents, leading to potential workers' compensation death claims
