Wrongful Death Claims on Behalf of a Loved One
In Cincinnati, only the representative of one’s estate may file a wrongful death claim or lawsuit. This means that the estate will receive the settlement, and will also distribute the assets according to your loved one’s wishes.
Compensation may include the following:
- Loss of companionship
- The potential savings that the loved one might have earned
- The potential amount of earnings lost because of the loved one’s death
- The earnings lost due to a loved one’s death
- Emotional and anguish
- Medical and funeral expenses
Our Cincinnati wrongful death lawyers at The Moore Law Firm understand that financial compensation can undo what has happened. Understandably, this may be one of the most difficult moments that you and your family may ever have to face. Negligence at a hospital or from a doctor is an event that should never happen. Unfortunately, for whatever reason, medical care professionals fail to act appropriately to prevent harm to patients. That is when it becomes necessary to take action.
If you have been injured or have lost a loved one as a result of another person's negligence, you deserve to be fully compensated for your losses. The simple fact is that you should not be forced to pay the price for another person's careless or reckless actions.
The legal system gives you the right to seek justice for these wrongs — take advantage of your rights. The most effective step you can take to secure your right to fair compensation for your losses is to hire a Cincinnati personal injury attorney to advocate on your behalf and represent your case to the insurance company.
