Many online tools generate a “range” based on general inputs: age, relationship, medical bills, and a few broad categories of damages. That can be helpful for orientation—but it often overlooks details that tend to drive results in Ohio fatal accident cases, such as:
- Crash reconstruction vs. assumptions (speed, braking, sight lines, lane position)
- Ohio fault disputes (including how comparative negligence may be argued)
- Documentation quality (what the police report captured, what video or dashcam evidence exists)
- Timing of the fatal outcome (death shortly after impact vs. complications later)
In other words, the “math” won’t correct for weak evidence or contested causation.
