Last updated on May 29, 2026

When you lose someone you love and depend on, you are left with heavy emotional and financial burdens.

At the law firm of StachlerHarmon, in Dayton, we help the families of those who died due to negligence in Ohio to obtain justice and restore dignity through a wrongful death claim. This legal process allows our clients to seek needed compensation for their loved ones’ outstanding medical bills and funeral expenses, as well as decreased family income and loss of companionship.

Justice, Dignity And Compensation

Our lawyers represent clients in wrongful death litigation resulting from car crashes, commercial truck collisions, workplace accidents, nursing home abuse and neglect, animal attacks and accidents on property, to name just a few circumstances.

In many cases, it is more difficult to extract compensation from negligent parties than it is to prove their negligence. We are tenacious in our efforts to recover money from insurance companies that refuse to pay policy claims in bad faith.

When possible and appropriate, we enlist the assistance of professionals such as medical doctors and forensic analysts. Our legal team will build the necessary evidence needed to get the compensation you and your family deserve.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wrongful Death

The preventable death of a loved one is an unimaginable loss for most. But not for you. You’ve had to live with it. In the middle of this awful situation, you likely have many questions that need answers. We will help you get those answers, starting with the questions below.

What typically results in wrongful death?

Nearly any accident can result in a wrongful death because negligence, and the consequences of negligence, can spin out of control quickly. However, the most common accidents we’ve seen that claim lives are motor vehicle accidents. Car crashes, truck crashes and motorcycle accidents are often physically devasting.

What options do Dayton families have after a wrongful death?

If you’ve lost a spouse or a parent to negligence, you have some options available to pursue compensation. As a family member and survivor, Illinois law provides you with the right to file a suit against a liable party. In that suit, you can potentially recover damages, such as:

• Medical bills associated with the accident
• Funeral costs
• Compensation for lost income and lifetime
• Loss of companionship
• Emotional suffering

There are many options to pursue for compensation. While none of them feel like enough, they will help manage the financial side of this major loss.
