Wrongful Death Claims Process
What is a Wrongful Death Claim?
Losing a loved one is a profoundly painful experience. When that loss is caused by the negligence or wrongful act of another party, the devastation is compounded. At The Albenze Firm, we understand the unique challenges and emotional toll associated with wrongful death claims in Ohio.
A wrongful death claim is a legal action brought on behalf of a deceased person’s surviving family members. It allows the family to seek compensation for the losses suffered due to the death. These losses can include, but are not limited to: funeral and burial expenses, medical bills, lost income, loss of companionship, and emotional distress.
The Wrongful Death Claims Process – As Handled by The Albenze Firm
Navigating the legal process following a loss can be overwhelming. The Albenze Firm provides experienced guidance every step of the way. Here’s a breakdown of the typical process we follow:
- Investigation: We immediately begin investigating the circumstances surrounding your loved one's death. This includes gathering police reports, medical records, witness statements, and any other relevant evidence.
- Liability Assessment: Our attorneys determine who is responsible for the death. This often involves identifying negligence on the part of a driver, employer, product manufacturer, or other party. We rigorously examine the facts to build a strong case.
- Damages Calculation: We meticulously calculate the damages recoverable by your family. This involves documenting all financial losses (lost wages, medical bills) and non-economic damages (pain and suffering, loss of consortium).
- Negotiation with Insurance Companies: We aggressively negotiate with the responsible party’s insurance company to secure a fair settlement. Often, insurance companies seek to minimize payouts.
- Litigation (If Necessary): If a fair settlement cannot be reached, we are prepared to file a lawsuit and litigate your case aggressively in Ohio courts.
