The Tenth Way a Lawyer Can Help Your Case

A Toledo, Ohio wrongful death case is brought on behalf of the estate of the deceased individual for the benefit of their heirs. Often, the decedent will have accumulated debts that are outstanding at the time of the death. The Perrysburg, Ohio fatal accident attorney's job is to minimize the debts for which the estate would be responsible.

 In one situation, a family's loved one died with large outstanding credit card bills as well as other debt. As part of the wrongful death settlement, we allocated all of the proceeds of the settlement to the heirs of the estate, which allowed the estate to escape all of the debt.


In another situation, the decedent's health insurance had paid for the hospital bills that were accumulated prior to death and the insurer sought reimbursement for the payments. We allocated the Ohio wrongful death proceeds to the surviving heirs which allowed the family to avoid the substantial health insurance reimbursement.

 Creative and strategic planning by the Fremont, Ohio tragic accident attorney can help provide favorable results for the heirs of the estate.
