Understanding the Wrongful Death Laws Available to Help You

Under the Illinois Wrongful Death Act, immediate family members can seek damages for the financial and emotional losses suffered as a result of the actions of others. We work with spouses, children, parents, and other family members to recover losses related to your impact.

In addition, the Illinois Survival Act allows the family to recover damages that the deceased party would have recovered if they had survived. This includes medical expenses, loss of earnings, and final medical costs.

The combination of these laws allows family members to seek justice, including losses your loved one had as well as losses you will continue to suffer due to the death of your family member.

  • Loss of moral training, instruction, and guidance that the person would have provided
