WRONGFUL DEATH IN ILLINOIS

The state of Illinois permits the receipt of monetary damages from the party or parties responsible for your loss. A wrongful death claim allows a spouse, child, or other next of kin to recover from the finical losses suffered by death if it was caused by another’s carelessness.

CAN YOU MAKE A WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM?

Wrongful death actions in Illinois are largely governed by the Illinois Wrongful Death Act (740 ILCS 180). Primarily, this law indicates that a surviving spouse or any children are considered “next of kin,” therefore, are eligible to file a lawsuit and pursue compensation. If there are no surviving children or spouse, other close relatives such as siblings or parents can also file a lawsuit as a beneficiary.

The specific relationship of the beneficiary or the individual(s) filing the wrongful death action to the deceased becomes critically important in how the case moves forward and what types of financial compensation are available. For example, while a child or spouse may be entitled to certain damages relating to the long-term economic support provided by a lost loved one, these damages may not be available to a parent or sibling.
