Wrongful Death in a Motorcycle Accident
Motorcyclists are more exposed than drivers of cars, trucks or SUVs. They do not have the protective framework of a car to protect them from injury in the event of an accident. Because of this, the consequences of intersection accidents and other collisions are often more serious for motorcyclists. Many are killed each year in Ohio by drivers who failed to exercise the proper amount of care while driving.
With office locations in Akron, Canton and Columbus, Slater & Zurz LLP is a high-powered personal injury law firm that represents the surviving families of people killed in fatal motorcycle accidents throughout Ohio. Under Ohio law, the next of kin can bring a wrongful death claim. This means that wrongful death claims can be filed by parents, grandparents, spouses and siblings.
Our attorneys have handled thousands of lawsuits throughout the course or our careers, and our firm has the resources and experience necessary to effectively pursue wrongful death claims. To achieve the best possible results, we often enlist an accident reconstruction team that takes quick action to investigate the scene of a fatal motorcycle accident. We also work with highly-regarded medical experts and engineers to fully assess and present all relevant evidence of liability and damages.
Personal Injury Representation You Can Afford
Many people are afraid to talk with a lawyer because they worry about the cost. They know that lawyers are expensive and the cost of conducting an investigation and hiring experts can be daunting. If they have lost a loved one who was earning an income and they face unpaid medical bills and funeral expenses, they may feel like they cannot afford the legal representation they need.
At Slater & Zurz LLP, you do not have to worry about the cost of our services. There are no upfront legal fees and we advance all expenses necessary for litigation. If we win at trial or negotiate a favorable settlement, we receive a percentage of the recovery as our fee. If you do not receive compensation, you do not owe us attorney's fees.
