Wrongful Death

Wrongful Death claims allow the family of a person killed as a result of someone’s misconduct to bring a claim for the injuries and losses resulting from that untimely death.

In Illinois, the Wrongful Death Act permits the family to recover for the grief, sorry, and mental anguish resulting from the wrongful death. The law also allows the “next of kin” to recover for the loss of society — meaning, the loss of love, companionship, guidance, affection, and support.
