Wrongful Death

In some cases, whether it be the result of an auto accident, slip-and-fall, nursing home neglect/abuse or other occurrence, the injuries resulting from another person’s negligence result in the death of the injured party.  The attorneys at Mickel & Huffman are experienced in these cases and can fight for the compensation that the families of these people deserve.

If the death of your loved one was caused by the negligence of another, then you deserve compensation.  The experienced attorneys at Mickel & Huffman will fight to get your family the compensation they deserve.

In Ohio, there are two prongs of a what is commonly referred to as a “wrongful death” claim – the wrongful death clam itself and the survivorship claim.  The wrongful death claim flows through the estate of the deceased person and includes damages for conscious pain and suffering and death.  The survivorship claim is asserted by the family members of a deceased person and compensates them for the loss of society and companionship of the decedent as well as financial support that the decedent would have provided to their family throughout the remainder of their expected lifespan.  The attorneys at Mickel & Huffman are experience in asserting both claims on behalf of the families of deceased persons.
