A Wrongful death claim occurs because of the negligence or intentional act of another person. Wrongful death claims are made by surviving family or beneficiaries, and can include awards for lost compensation that the deceased would have provided, lost benefits such as medical insurance, funeral expenses, and the emotional distress and grieving suffered by the surviving family members.

James E. Arnold & Associates lawyers have handled dozens of such cases, with many successful verdicts in this practice area. In fact, we litigated a trial in which our client was awarded the largest wrongful death verdict in Franklin County, Ohio’s history. We understand the sensitivity of the cases involved, and work hard to achieve a favorable outcome for clients.
