Understanding Wrongful Death Claims in Chicago
Wrongful death claims are pursued when a person’s death is caused by the negligent, reckless, or deliberate actions of another. These claims help provide financial security for the deceased’s survivors and aim to compensate for the loss of companionship, earnings, and other damages.
- Eligibility to file. In Illinois, the executor or administrator of the deceased’s estate usually files the claim on behalf of the surviving family members.
- Damages covered. Compensation can include lost wages, funeral expenses, medical costs prior to death, and non-economic damages like loss of companionship.
The Role of a Wrongful Death Lawyer
The assistance of a knowledgeable wrongful death lawyer is crucial for navigating the legal system and ensuring the family’s rights are protected.
- Legal guidance. A wrongful death lawyer will guide you through the legal process, helping to understand the complexities of the case and the applicable laws.
