Financial Recovery in Wrongful Death Cases in Illinois

When a loved one dies, there is a hole left in the lives of those left behind. Under Illinois law, an individual's next-of-kin has the right to sue those at fault for the accident in order to recover compensation for a number of damages, including:

• Medical bills directly related to the death;
• Funeral expenses;
• Lost past and future wages of the deceased;
• Loss of the companionship and care of the deceased; and
• Pain and suffering of the deceased following the accident and prior to death.

The time immediately following a fatal accident can be emotionally overwhelming for surviving family members. In addition to having to endure planning a funeral and coming to grips with an uncertain future, you also need to consult with an experienced wrongful death attorney. Gathering evidence and witness statements as soon as possible is important to building a strong case and successfully obtaining maximum compensation.
