Nicolosi & Associates' personal injury attorneys understand that the events leading to a family member's death can be painful and overwhelming, and are here to help you through this difficult time. We know that there is not enough compensation in the world to take the place of still having your loved one with you, but we have fought for the rights of many families to hold people responsible for the wrongful death of their loved one. This includes compensation for pain, suffering, medical and funeral expenses, and future earning capacity of the loved one, as well as for the sorrow, grief, and mental anguish of the surviving family members.
Under Illinois law, a wrongful death suit may be brought after an individual dies as a result of the negligence of another. Many wrongful death lawsuits involve medical malpractice, car accidents, truck accidents or defective products. Usually a decedent's family initiates a wrongful death lawsuit and is the plaintiff. To file a successful Illinois wrongful death claim, a family member must show that another person or company's negligence caused the decedent's death, and had the victim lived, he or she would have been able to file a personal injury claim on their own behalf for the injuries sustained from the accident.
