lawsuits

In the unfortunate circumstance that a loved one passes because of the fault of another, an action for "wrongful death" may result.

Revised Code 2125 covers wrongful death actions in Ohio. According to this law, when the death of a person in Ohio is caused by the negligence of another, the negligent party is liable to an action for damages.

If the negligent act occurs outside the state of Ohio, a wrongful death action may still proceed in the state of Ohio.
