Wrongful Death

Chicago, Illinois Lawyer - Recovering For Wrongful Death

Experiencing the death of a spouse, parent, or child can bring overwhelming grief. Discovering that the death was caused by an avoidable accident due to someone's carelessness aggravates the feelings. If you are a surviving family member of someone who was killed in an unnecessary accident, you and your family probably have a lot of concerns:

• Can you find the strength to go on without the person you loved?
• How you will pay for funeral and memorial arrangements, medical expenses, the mortuary costs, the cemetery plot, and burial expenses?
• How will you pay the mortgage or rent, grocery and utility bills, and other living expenses?
• Will the doctor, driver or other person or company who caused your loved one's death go unpunished?

At Smoler Law Office, we won't pretend to understand what you are going through after a wrongful death. We will, however, take the time to listen to your concerns, understand the gravity of your loss, identify the parties responsible for the death, and work hard to hold them accountable for your damages in a wrongful death claim.

When people lose loved ones because of the negligent or reckless actions of others, the mental and emotional fog of grief often puts them at an immediate disadvantage against the insurance company's attorneys.

This can allow you to focus on healing and spending time with friends and family rather than on dealing with legal issues.

And it costs you no more to hire an attorney now than it would later.

Robert Smoler has been handling wrongful death and personal injury claims on behalf of grieving families in Chicago, Cook County and throughout Illinois for over 25 years. Our legal team works hard to help families recover the compensation they deserve, and need, to put their lives back together after an accidental death involving:

• Construction Accidents
• Car Accidents
• Trucking Accidents
• Injuries on Dangerous Property
• Medical Malpractice

Losses for which spouses, children, parents, and certain other family members can be compensated include medical bills, funeral expenses, the loss of income and expected lifetime earnings, loss of benefits, the loss of companionship, and emotional pain and suffering. Illinois law also allows the "estate" of the victim - in addition to any claims that family members may bring - to seek compensation for conscious pain and suffering that the victim endured between the time of the accident and the time of death.

We know that money won't bring back your loved one or help with the grief. A fair and just settlement or verdict can help secure your family's financial future and help you move forward.

Compensation for Deaths Caused by Workplace Accidents

Workplace accidents are another common cause of accidental fatalities. Under Illinois' workers' compensation laws, the dependents of workers who are killed on the job are entitled to workers' compensation death benefits not to exceed a maximum of $500,000 or 25 years.
