Wrongful Death

Behnke, Martin & Schulte, LLC is Ohio’s premier wrongful death and personal injury law firm with a tradition of obtaining superior results by skillfully and aggressively representing their clients through mediation, arbitration, and jury trial. The lawyers of our firm have successfully handled a broad range of wrongful death cases arising from automobile, bike and pedestrian collisions, trucking accidents, boat and airplane accidents, construction accidents, premises liability, product liability, nursing home liability, toxic and mass torts, and other forms of negligence. Our firm has the demonstrated knowledge, dedication and resources to battle insurance companies and large corporations to achieve justice for its Ohio wrongful death clients.

The term “wrongful death” means that a person’s death was due to another party’s negligence, and a claim for wrongful death can be filed against another individual, group or company. Filing a wrongful death claim is extremely difficult for families because, not only must they deal with their grief over the death, they must also deal with a very complicated legal situation. It is important to keep in mind that the death was caused due to another’s negligence and the family has the right to be compensated for their loss.

A claim for wrongful death may include compensation for the following:

  1. Reimbursement for all medical expenses incurred as a result of the negligence.
  2. Reimbursement for the loss of any future income.
  3. Reimbursement for property damage, if applicable.
  4. Reimbursement for any future services normally provided to you by the person who has died.
  5. Reimbursement for loss of consortium, meaning a spouse’s right to the companionship, help and affection from the person who has died.
  6. Reimbursement for any punitive damages if the negligence was found to be criminal.

Every State has a “statute of limitations” (the amount of time allotted to file a claim for negligence). You must protect your family’s rights by making sure that the negligent party is held accountable for your loss and, although extremely hard, it is crucial that you preserve any supporting evidence and file your claim within the legal time limits.

Behnke, Martin & Schulte, LLC selects its wrongful death cases carefully so that the caseload remains small and each case gets the focused attention necessary for a successful outcome. Our firm understands that the key to effective representation is developing a close personal relationship with the client.
