What Is Wrongful Death?
According to the Illinois Wrongful Death Act, any time a person’s death was caused by, “wrongful act, neglect or default,” it means the death should have been preventable. At HDLS, we use our resources to help clients prove the fault of the other party in a wrongful death. By doing all in our power to hold the other party responsible for their misconduct, we have been able to help clients obtain appropriate settlements.
A wrongful death could be:
- Wrongful behavior, such as criminal activity
- Preventable workplace accident
- Medical malpractice
- Vehicle accident
- Resulting from unsafe premises
How Can Our Firm Help?
With many of our attorneys having argued cases at venues as significant as the U.S. Supreme Court, we understand what it takes to present the evidence and viewpoints that secure the settlements clients need. A thorough understanding of the case is key, so we have an investigator on our staff to help us learn more about the strengths and weaknesses of a client’s position. With a solid legal strategy, clients are more likely to obtain the settlement outcome they both want and indubitably deserve.
Do not fight wrongful death cases on your own. Call (618) 310-3411 or contact us online for a free consultation.
