Cleveland wrongful death lawyer Patrick Merrick explains that in Ohio Laws that are written by the legislature in Ohio, instead of the court, says who can recover monetary compensation in wrongful death cases. In Ohio, wrongful death means a death “caused by wrongful act, neglect, or default” and allows a wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of the estate of the decedent. A wrongful death suit is a civil action – meaning that the person or company at fault for the wrongful death must pay money to the estate as compensation. Typically, the husband or wife of the decedent and children are entitled to recover (they are presumed to have suffered losses). If there is no spouse and no children, then parents and other family members may recover.
