 Wrongful Death FAQs

 We’re here to answer your questions—calmly, clearly, and with respect.

  • What is considered wrongful death in Illinois?

    Wrongful death occurs when someone dies due to another person’s negligent or intentional actions—such as in a crash, medical error, unsafe property, or workplace incident.

  • Who can file a wrongful death claim?

    Typically, the spouse, children, or parents of the deceased may file a claim. In some cases, a personal representative of the estate can pursue legal action on behalf of surviving family members.

  • What compensation can families recover?

    Damages may include medical bills, funeral expenses, lost future income, loss of companionship, emotional distress, and more. We tailor every case to the family’s specific loss.

  • How long do I have to file?

    Illinois law typically gives families two years to file a wrongful death claim. That said, early action helps preserve evidence and start the healing process.

  • Is it possible to settle without going to court?

    Yes. Many wrongful death claims are resolved through settlement. But we prepare each case like it’s going to trial—so we’re ready no matter what path it takes.
