Compassionate Representation Following A Tragic Loss
The sudden death of a loved one is traumatic for family and friends. Learning that negligence caused the loss only deepens the grief and frustration.
Categories of wrongful deaths are numerous. The most common causes are car crashes, medical errors and defective products. What they all have in common is that they are not handled in criminal court. Surviving loved ones can file lawsuits in civil court.
At Lazzaro Luka Law Offices, LLC, our personal injury attorneys represent families in the Cleveland area and throughout Ohio who are facing the aftermath of preventable tragedy. Our team approaches each wrongful death case with both legal experience and deep compassion, recognizing that families need an advocate who understands both the emotional and financial toll of their loss. We guide clients through this difficult process while fighting diligently for the justice and compensation they deserve.
Offering A Personalized Approach
Under the Ohio Revised Code, a wrongful death occurs when a person dies due to another’s negligence or wrongful act. Cases become particularly complex when a primary wage earner loses their life, leaving behind an uncertain future for their family.
Our managing attorney, Lori Luka, has experienced the tragic and preventable loss of a family member who passed away due to negligence. She knows what her clients are experiencing following a shocking, life-ending accident. With tenacity, she pursues justice through maximum compensation for her clients, including:
- Medical bills
- Funeral expenses
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of income
- Loss of companionship/consortium
When you retain our law office, we will provide you with the compassionate legal representation you need.
Who Can File A Wrongful Death Suit?
Under Ohio law, the personal representative of the deceased’s estate must file the wrongful death claim. This person acts on behalf of eligible beneficiaries, such as a spouse, child or parent. Our attorneys in Rocky River guide families through each step of this process, from filing through resolution. Courts may also consider loss of household support, future earnings and emotional impact when awarding damages. Throughout this difficult time, we offer practical guidance and steady support to help families navigate the legal system while honoring their loved one’s memory.
