Frequently Asked Questions
Wrongful Death FAQs
Who can file a wrongful death claim in Illinois?
Typically, the surviving spouse or next of kin (such as children or parents) can bring a claim. We will guide you through eligibility and help you act within the legal timeframe.
What kinds of damages can I recover?
You may be entitled to compensation for funeral and burial costs, lost future income, loss of companionship, grief, and emotional suffering.
Is there a time limit to file?
Yes. Illinois law has a statute of limitations for wrongful death claims — typically two years. The sooner we begin, the better we can preserve evidence and protect your case.
How much does it cost to hire your firm?
There is no fee unless we recover for you. We handle wrongful death claims on a contingency basis, so you pay nothing unless compensation is awarded.
Do wrongful death claims go to trial?
Many are resolved through settlement, but we prepare every case as if it will go to trial. If necessary, we will litigate to fight for the justice your loved one deserves.
