Wrongful Death


Fighting for Families Who Have Lost a Loved One Too Soon

The loss of a loved one is always devastating. But when that loss is caused by someone else’s negligence, recklessness, or misconduct, it can leave surviving family members grappling with more than just grief—they're often left with questions, confusion, and a deep sense of injustice.

Under Ohio law, a death is considered “wrongful” when it results from another party’s careless, intentional, or negligent actions. While no amount of money can replace a life, wrongful death claims exist to provide financial support to the surviving family and to hold the responsible parties accountable.

Legal Guidance When You Need It Most

At Ciano & Goldwasser, we stand beside families during their most difficult times. Our attorneys have extensive experience handling wrongful death cases throughout Ohio and are committed to providing compassionate counsel and aggressive advocacy. We lead every aspect of the process—so you don’t have to carry the legal burden alone.

Our legal team will thoroughly investigate:

  • The extent of the pain and suffering endured prior to death

  • The emotional and financial toll on the surviving family members

We understand the sensitivity of these cases and will work closely with you to pursue the justice your family deserves.

What Compensation Can Be Recovered?

Ohio law allows for compensation to eligible survivors in wrongful death actions, subject to legal limitations such as statutes of limitation and damage caps. Potential recovery may include:

  • Loss of future earnings and financial support

  • Medical expenses incurred prior to death

  • Funeral and burial expenses

  • Loss of companionship, care, and services

  • Mental anguish suffered by surviving family members

These claims are complex and must be handled with both legal precision and human understanding. That’s why it’s essential to consult with an experienced wrongful death attorney early in the process.
