Financial Recovery in Wrongful Death Cases in Illinois

When a loved one dies, there is a hole left in the lives of those left behind. Under Illinois law, an individual's next-of-kin has the right to sue those at fault for the accident in order to recover compensation for a number of damages, including:

  • Medical bills directly related to the death;
  • Funeral expenses;
  • Lost past and future wages of the deceased;
  • Loss of the companionship and care of the deceased; and
  • Pain and suffering of the deceased following the accident and prior to death.
