What Is a Wrongful Death?
A wrongful death occurs when another party causes a death through negligent or reckless actions. These actions sometimes also cause property damage and significant injury to others in addition to death.
Our Joliet personal injury attorneys have seen this happen in many cases. For instance, wrongful deaths may occur in:
- Car accidents
- Traumatic slip and falls
- Truck accidents
- Bike and motorcycle accidents
- Boat accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
- Bus accidents
- The use of defective and/or dangerous products
- And more
When a death happens as a result of an accident, the family is often in shock. Not only are they suffering, but they are also wondering how they will cover funeral costs, medical expenses, and more.
One solution is to sue the party liable for the accident. So, if you or a family member were involved in any of the above accidents, and a death occurred, you may want to consider filing a wrongful death suit.
Why Take Part in a Joliet Wrongful Death Settlement?
It is already very difficult to pick up the pieces after a loved one has passed. A Joliet wrongful death settlement may seem like just one more thing to add to your overwhelmed plate. However, taking part in a wrongful death suit may actually end up helping you and your family.
This is because the ultimate goal of a wrongful death suit is to compensate you for certain monetary and emotional losses incurred by the death of your family member. Such losses may include:
- Loss of income
- Loss of projected future earnings
- Medical expenses and funeral costs
- Loss of their companionship, including loss of consortium
- Your family’s pain and suffering
Any one of these amounts may significantly assist a family moving forward. Of course, there is no way to put a price on the life of a dearly loved family member. Moreover, it is difficult to determine a monetary amount for non-economic damages. Thankfully, a knowledgeable wrongful death attorney will help you during the wrongful death claims process.
How Do Joliet Personal Injury Attorneys Handle a Wrongful Death Lawsuit?
When filing negligent death claims, your attorney will investigate the cause of the accident. If they determine that another negligent party caused the wrongful death, they will begin to build a personal injury claim against them. Your lawyer will then draft a demand letter and continue to represent your interests while working with any insurance companies and/or the other party’s attorney.
Thus, it is of utmost importance that you employ a wrongful death attorney from a dedicated personal injury law firm. The Illinois attorneys at Lerner and Rowe Injury Attorneys have many years of experience handling delicate wrongful death cases, and will fight for what your family deserves. This will take some stress off of your shoulders, leaving you to focus on recovery for you and your family.
