Your Wrongful Death Lawyer In Cleveland
Losing a loved one is always a devastating experience. When that loss is due to the negligence or misconduct of another, it can be even more unbearable. If you’ve lost a family member because of someone else’s actions, you may be entitled to compensation through a wrongful death claim.
Wrongful death is a type of claim that may arise when a person dies or is killed due to the negligence or misconduct of another individual or business entity. Surviving members of the decedent’s family may sue for wrongful death.
What Is Wrongful Death?
Wrongful death occurs when an individual dies as a result of another person or entity’s wrongful act, neglect or fault. This could be due to a car, truck or motorcycle collision, nursing home neglect, workplace accident, defective product or any number of other situations where negligence led to a fatality.
