In most wrongful death cases, the family of the deceased seek compensation from the person responsible for their loved one’s death. The basis of the accusation is that the accident was the result of another person’s negligence or unjust actions.
Therefore, a wrongful death lawsuit focuses on targeting the person responsible for another person’s death. Unlike homicides, wrongful death is commonly unintended. Nonetheless, if a person’s death was caused by factors under another person’s control, that party may be held liable.
Wrongful death can stem from a variety of situations involving negligence, recklessness, or malpractice. In Cleveland, these often include:
No matter the cause of your loved one’s death, KNR’s experienced attorneys are dedicated to conducting a thorough investigation to identify the liable parties and ensure your family receives the compensation you deserve.
En Ohio, las demandas por homicidio culposo se rigen por el artículo 2125 del Código Revisado de Ohio. La ley permite a los familiares reclamar una indemnización cuando la muerte de un ser querido se debe a las acciones ilícitas, la negligencia o la omisión de otra parte. El objetivo de una demanda por homicidio culposo es proporcionar una indemnización económica a los familiares supervivientes por las pérdidas que han sufrido a causa de la muerte de su ser querido.
In Ohio, only the personal representative of the deceased’s estate can file a wrongful death claim. This individual is often a family member, such as a spouse, parent, or adult child, and is appointed by the probate court to handle the estate’s affairs. However, the compensation awarded in a wrongful death claim goes to the surviving family members, not the estate.
Entre los familiares con derecho a recibir una indemnización se incluyen:
Other family members may be entitled to compensation if they can demonstrate that they were financially dependent on the deceased or if the court finds it appropriate.
To succeed in an Ohio wrongful death claim, the following elements must be established:
Ohio law imposes a two-year statute of limitations on wrongful death claims. This means that the personal representative must file the wrongful death lawsuit within two years of the date of death. Failure to file within this time frame may result in the case being dismissed and the family losing the right to seek compensation.
Sin embargo, existen algunas excepciones a esta norma, como los casos de fraude, ocultación o el descubrimiento tardío de la causa de la muerte. Es importante consultar con un abogado con experiencia en casos de muerte por negligencia para asegurarse de que su reclamación se presente a tiempo.

In Ohio, the compensation awarded in wrongful death cases aims to provide relief to the surviving family members for both economic and non-economic losses. These may include:
In certain circumstances, Ohio law permits the awarding of punitive damages. These damages are not designed to compensate the family for their loss but rather to punish the defendant for particularly egregious behavior, such as intentional harm or gross negligence. Punitive damages are awarded in addition to compensatory damages and serve as a deterrent against similar actions in the future.
KNR has helped numerous families get compensation for their long-term needs after a loved one’s wrongful death. For example, KNR represented a Cleveland family after a fatal house fire and reached an $82,000 settlement.

The skilled legal team at Kisling, Nestico & Redick is here to guide you through every step of the legal process.
While your family copes with the loss of your loved one, your wrongful death lawyer can manage the legal aspects of your case. To begin, we will need to determine who is at fault. The circumstances surrounding your family member’s passing will largely dictate who is responsible for their death.

Our Cleveland wrongful death attorneys will calculate the value of your claim, taking into account all your losses. We aim to demand maximum compensation for you and your family.
Finally, we will proceed to file your insurance and wrongful death claims. We handle all communication with the insurer and negotiate a settlement on your behalf. If the insurance company refuses to negotiate in good faith or denies your claim, we are prepared to take your case to court.
Filing a lawsuit while you’re grieving can be overwhelming. You probably have many questions. The FAQ below addresses some of the most common inquiries family members have regarding wrongful death claims.
