A civil action against someone who can be held liable for a death.
Wrongful death lawsuits are any personal injury or negligence lawsuits filed on behalf of an individual who has passed away as a result of another party’s negligence or harmful actions.
We know that a lawsuit will never erase the pain and suffering your family is enduring after a loved one’s passing, but our goal is to alleviate some of the financial burdens and hold the responsible parties liable.
There are laws in the state of Illinois that limit which parties can file for wrongful death on behalf of the deceased. In order to file, you must meet one or more of the following qualifications:

Wrongful death is considered an incident in which a person’s death results from negligence or misconduct by another person. There is an array of incidents that could trigger a wrongful death suit.
Some of the more common types include:
Illinois has strict guidelines for when a lawsuit can be filed on behalf of your loved one after their death. A case must be filed within the time limit set for the underlying type of case, or within one year of the date of the deceased person’s death.
In simple terms, that means the lawsuit must be filed either within two years of the date of the accident or within one year of the passing of your loved one. You have two years to speak with a lawyer and file the case.
If you fail to contact a lawyer in that time frame, you may lose your right to compensation as a judge may refuse to hear the case because the deadline has passed.

Damages are the total losses, both economic and non-economic, that you incur as a result of an incident. It is difficult to assess damages, especially the full scope of potential future damages, unless you have an understanding of the law.
A victim is often led to believe that their damages are valued considerably lower than they actually are, sometimes due to a past experience with an insurance company or something similar.
An attorney will always factor in all potential damages so that their client does not suffer any current or future monetary losses because of an accident or injury that they did not cause.
Some damages to consider include:
There are circumstances in which additional damages could be calculated to determine how much compensation families recover in a lawsuit.
Once you initially discuss your case with a wrongful death lawyer, they will begin working on determining the amount of compensation you could receive.
