When a person is killed as the result of someone else's negligence or fault, it is considered a wrongful death. Wrongful death does not have to take place at the scene of an accident, but may occur later as a result of injuries sustained in an accident. Surviving family members retain legal rights when a loved one dies in a wrongful death and may seek financial compensation against the party responsible for their loved one's death.
Only a qualified Chicago wrongful death attorney can tell you what damages you may seek compensation for in a wrongful death lawsuit. Common damages include funeral costs, lost income, property damage, any medical costs associated with trying to save the victim's life and pain and suffering. Wrongful death lawsuits can be extremely complex and surviving family members have a limited time in which to file a claim. These lawsuits are often complex and demand representation by an experienced attorney with proven results.
