The wrongful death of a loved one can be devastating. It can cause tremendous grief and huge financial strain on family members left behind. The Peoria Injury Attorneys at VanDerGinst Law can Help. No amount of money can eliminate the grief, but a wrongful death action can help ease the financial strain.
Wrongful death may be caused by medical malpractice, an automobile accident, faulty products, property defects or any number of other sources. A wrongful death action is filed by the family or by the representatives of the decedent’s estate. Wrongful death actions are intended to compensate family members who have suffered from the death of a loved one.
Each state has different laws regarding wrongful death claims.
In Illinois another action may exist in addition to the wrongful death action. It is known as a survival action. This allows the estate of the decedent to recover damages for the conscious pain and suffering a decedent may have experienced before he or she expired.
