What Illinois Families Need to Know

  • Who can file a wrongful death claim in Illinois?

    Typically, the surviving spouse, adult children, or next of kin (often via an estate representative) can file a claim.


  • What damages can we recover?

    You may be entitled to compensation for funeral costs, medical bills, loss of income, loss of companionship, emotional distress & more.



  • Is there a deadline to file?

    Yes. In most cases, you must file within 2 years of the date of death—but certain factors may shorten or extend that window. Early legal guidance is critical.

  • What if the death happened at work?

    We handle fatal workplace injury cases through Illinois workers’ compensation death benefits and third-party claims when applicable.

  • Will we have to go to court?

    Many claims settle out of court, but we prepare each case thoroughly in case a trial is needed to achieve justice.
