A wrongful death lawsuit in West Virginia or Central Ohio is similar in many ways to a personal injury claim. If a victim could have brought a personal injury lawsuit if his or her injury had not resulted in death, the victim's estate has the right to bring a wrongful death claim. For many families, taking legal action can lead to a sense of closure about what happened to their loved one.
