Chicago Abogado de Muerte Injusta

Losing a loved one is a devastating experience, especially when the victim’s death was caused by someone else’s negligence or intentional actions. No amount of compensation can bring back a loved one, but seeking justice through a wrongful death claim can help provide financial support for the surviving spouse and family members. This is where a Chicago wrongful death lawyer from our personal injury law firm can help.

¿Qué es una muerte por negligencia en Illinois?

A wrongful death happens when someone dies due to another person’s negligence or wrongful conduct. This can include motor vehicle accidents, unsafe workplaces, trucking accidents, or medical errors. Under the Illinois Wrongful Death Act (740 ILCS 180/), the deceased person’s family can pursue compensation with a claim for wrongful death damages.

The Illinois Survival Act (755 ILCS 5/27-6) allows a deceased person’s estate to recover damages the person could have received if they had survived.

Who Can File an Illinois Wrongful Death Lawsuit?

By Chicago wrongful death laws, only certain people can file a wrongful death lawsuit. This right is given to the personal representative of the deceased’s estate—usually a close family member like the victim’s surviving spouse, parent, or adult child. They file on behalf of all eligible family members affected by the loss. If you’re unsure about your rights after a person’s death, our wrongful death attorneys can help.

How Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Prove Wrongful Death?

For Illinois wrongful death cases to recover financial compensation, a Chicago wrongful death attorney must prove four key facts:

  • Duty of care: the responsible party had a duty to act safely.
  • Breach of duty: they failed to meet their duty to act safely through negligence or harmful action.
  • Causation: their actions directly caused your loved one’s death.
  • Daños y perjuicios: el fallecimiento ocasionó pérdidas cuantificables a la familia.

Wrongful death victims suffer fatal injuries that enable families to file wrongful death claims from:

  • A car accident, such as a head-on collision

Who Can Be Held Accountable for a Wrongful Death?

Who Can Be Held Liable for a Wrongful Death in Chicago?

Cuando se produce un homicidio culposo, cualquier persona cuya negligencia o acto ilícito haya causado la muerte puede ser considerada responsable en una demanda por lesiones personales. Puede tratarse de empresarios, conductores, propietarios, médicos o fabricantes de productos defectuosos.

Who Cannot Be Held Liable for a Wrongful Death in Illinois?

Not all personal injury deaths warrant a wrongful death action. For example, by Illinois law, illnesses caused by natural factors or unavoidable fatal accidents (where there were no negligent parties) usually don’t qualify. However, if negligence contributed in any way, the victim’s beneficiary may be eligible to file a wrongful death suit.

¿Cuánto vale mi caso por muerte por negligencia?

Under Illinois wrongful death statutes, the monetary damages of a wrongful death case depend on factors like the amount of medical expenses incurred, lost income, funeral and burial expenses, mental suffering, or the emotional and financial toll of loved ones. While no compensation can replace your loved one, it can help ease your financial burdens. Our law firm can help you assess the worth of your legal claim and seek compensation.
