Wrongful Death Accidents Our Illinois Attorneys Handle
Wrongful deaths can occur because of a variety of circumstances, such as:
1. Motor Vehicle Accidents
Speeding, drunk driving, reckless drivers, and poorly maintained roads commonly lead to fatal crashes. We are a firm that represents families by bringing claims against reckless drivers, trucking firms, or government agencies that caused hazardous road conditions.
2. Medical Malpractice
Doctors, nurses, and hospitals are held to a reasonable standard of care. Where there is a mistake in medical care—misdiagnosis, surgical mistakes, medication mistakes—the surviving family can bring a personal injury claim.
3. Workplace Accidents
Construction sites, factory floors, and even office environments can be fatal due to unsafe conditions, faulty equipment, or lack of proper training.
4. Premises Liability (Slip and Falls, Dangerous Property)
It is the duty of property owners to maintain safe properties. When an unsafe condition—like improper lighting, slippery surfaces, or faulty stairs—results in a fatal accident, the property owner can be held liable.
5. Defective Products
Faulty machinery, defective products, or tainted medications can cause fatal injuries. Manufacturers and distributors can be held liable via product liability claims.
6. Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents
Pedestrian and cyclist accidents causing death can occur due to drivers who fail to yield or follow traffic regulations. We support families in recovering justice in such accident cases.
