Fatal Car Accidents in Illinois
A wrongful death is legally used to denote a casualty resulting from another party’s negligence and occurring in an accident. That said, proving that another party was indeed negligent and caused the accident is a complicated matter that requires the knowledge and skills of an Illinois car accident lawyer.
After the death of a loved one or family member, eligible individuals may pursue civil litigation with the assistance of legal counsel to recover damages. Litigation damages may consist of funeral expenses, pain and suffering experienced before the decedent’s passing, bereavement-related losses of companionship, and additional damages.
