Avoidable accidents cause fatalities every day in Illinois. Some deaths are the result of someone else’s intentional actions. Surviving family members are left to cope with their multiple losses, often experiencing anger toward the situation or person that caused the death. While money cannot fill the void your loved one’s death left in your life, a wrongful death claim could provide funds to ease your financial burdens.

While both types of legal claims can stem from a death, they have fundamental differences. Your knowledgeable Cook County, IL wrongful death attorney can evaluate your situation, determine your eligibility to file these claims, and work toward maximum compensation on your behalf.
