Losing a family member because of another driver’s carelessness is a deeply painful ordeal. While focusing on grieving, we know that the thought of legal proceedings can be overwhelming. Yet, a wrongful death lawsuit can make a world of difference when it comes to covering expenses related to an unexpected loss caused by someone else’s negligence.
In wrongful death cases, having access to crucial evidence is essential for families seeking justice. However, the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) retains video footage for only 72 hours after an accident, which is why it is important to take immediate legal action.
