Sometimes a catastrophic injury or an accident can lead to the death of a family member. In such a tragic case, the wrongful death laws allow a surviving child, spouse or parent to recover damages for the death of his or her loved one. The Illinois Wrongful Death Act was recently amended to make compensable the "grief, sorrow and mental suffering" of a spouse or family member in the event of wrongful death.
There are many examples of accidents that can give rise to a strong personal injury or wrongful death case, from slip and fall cases to product liability. Negligence can occur in any number of settings.
The substantial money damages that can be recovered in accidental death cases include recovery for pain and suffering, medical expenses both past and future, mental and emotional anguish, any loss of your future earning capacity, and the future diminishment of your enjoyment of life. You may be entitled to collect damages for the loss of pleasure or companionship you have experienced as a result. The recoveries in wrongful death actions can total millions of dollars.
If you have lost a family member as a result of Internet prescription malpractice, pharmacy malpractice or any other act of third party negligence, you have the right to file a wrongful death lawsuit to recover for your losses.
