Wrongful Death/Catastrophic Injury

Ohio Wrongful Death Lawyer

If a member of your family has suffered a fatal or serious injury in a motor vehicle accident, we extend our sympathy. Certainly you are facing overwhelming emotional, medical, and financial problems. Unfortunately, during this difficult time, you will be called on to decide whether to accept insurance claim settlements, or whether to file a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit.

It is extremely important that you consult with an attorney before making a decision

You may have been visited by an insurance company representative who assured you there is no reason to see an attorney about your claim. However the insurance company's goal is not to provide the help you need, but to pay as little as possible for your claim.

It costs you nothing to have a lawyer from our firm provide a free consultation and case review. At the Associated Offices of Dennis Seaman & Associates Co., L.P.A., and Garson & Associates, Co. L.P.A., (Seaman & Garson), our Cleveland, Ohio, firm, we are committed to seeing that accident victims and their families recover the full compensation they deserve for their losses. If you would like to meet with a personal injury attorney with experience in handling serious injury and wrongful death claims, please contact our office.

Evaluating a catastrophic injury

When a passenger vehicle is involved in a truck accident, a motorcycle crashes due to an equipment defect, or an ATV flips and crushes the driver's spine, the resulting serious injury to the head, neck, or spinal cord may result in a life-changing disability – traumatic brain injury (TBI) or paraplegia, quadriplegia, or other paralysis. Our seasoned lawyers calculate the cost of such an injury after consulting with medical experts, life-care experts, and economic experts to project the value of a claim for a life-time of nursing home care or lost employability.

What is the cost of a wrongful death?

If you have lost the emotional and economic support of a parent, a child, or another family member no motorcycle accident insurance settlement or product liability verdict will end your grief. However our lawyers will, through a wrongful death lawsuit or insurance negotiation, aggressively pursue the damages that will help you rebuild your life. The attorneys, working with top economic and accident reconstruction experts, will work to establish the necessary facts – including the liability of the party at fault for your loss and the value of your claim.
