Wrongful Death Case Values in Ohio (2026)

Wrongful Death cases in Ohio show a notably high and consistent outcome range based on the available data, with a median and mean of $13.0M and individual verdicts/settlements falling between $12.0M and $14.0M. The tight clustering of outcomes suggests that high-value wrongful death cases in Ohio may be driven by catastrophic circumstances, institutional defendants, or significant economic loss claims that push recoveries well beyond the state's $350,000 non-economic damages cap through economic and punitive components. However, with only two tracked cases, these figures should be interpreted with caution, as the sample size is insufficient to draw broad conclusions about typical wrongful death valuations across Ohio jurisdictions.
