Full and Fair Compensation

Money damages for wrongful death claims often include recovery for the following:

  • Loss of Companionship and Emotional Support
  • Loss of Income
  • Reduction of Future Inheritance Value
  • Reduction of Retirement Benefits and Life Insurance Policies

In certain instances, the court may award punitive damages — extra penalties paid by the negligent party as punishment for the wrongdoing. Because wrongful death claims get very complex, it is wise to consult with an accomplished attorney for counsel.

Our clients have a lot on their plates after fatal truck or motorcycle accidents.

Troy Walton I want to say thank you for representing me in the Wrongful Death Case of my late husband. You and your team were very personal and professional. I was so happy when you and your team accepted the case. I was very pleased with the outcome and this would have not happened without you and your team. You kept me informed of everything that was going on with the case in a timely manner and I appreciate that. I did not worry about what was going on I only wanted the best to happen and to let you do your job. This was a long road to travel down and without your hard work and dedication to this case it could have lasted for years, and again I want to say THANK YOU. I take pride in you and what you have done for my family and for my future. Your paralegal has done a great job in getting information to me and taking the time to come to me to get important document signed.

Edwardsville Wrongful Death FAQs

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.
