In Illinois, a wrongful death claim can typically be filed by the personal representative of the deceased’s estate. The compensation benefits the surviving spouse, children, or next of kin.
Damages may include compensation for medical bills, funeral and burial expenses, loss of financial support, loss of companionship, emotional pain and suffering, and, in some cases, punitive damages to punish the responsible party.
The statute of limitations for filing a wrongful death lawsuit is generally two years from the date of death. However, it’s crucial to consult with a lawyer as soon as possible to ensure your claim is filed on time.
Parties that may be held liable include individuals, businesses, medical professionals, manufacturers, or government entities, depending on the circumstances of the death. Common examples include car accidents, medical malpractice, defective products, or workplace accidents.
