Families suffer emotional and financial trauma in wrongful death cases.
Families suffer emotional and financial trauma in wrongful death cases.
Each year, more than 100,000 people are killed because of someone else’s negligence. Victims of wrongful death pay the ultimate price, but their families often suffer psychic and financial injury when a loved one is lost.
As a family-owned law firm, we understand that losing a loved one is one of the most difficult things a person can go through. If your loved one’s death was caused by another’s carelessness, then you deserve compensation. Our attorneys will treat you with respect and compassion while fighting for your rights.
Medical Malpractice Is a Leading Cause of Wrongful Death
The depth of experience that our law firm offers means we can handle even the most complicated wrongful death cases, such as those involving death caused by medical malpractice. In recent years, studies have shown that medical mistakes are a much greater problem than was previously thought. According to a recent study in the Journal of Patient Safety, between 210,000 and 440,000 patients die each year at least in part because of preventable medical errors. This makes medical mistakes the third leading cause of death in the United States, behind only heart disease and cancer.
Negligence on Roads and Highways Causes Thousands of Deaths every year
We can also handle cases in which a life has been lost due to the negligence of a motor vehicle driver. Auto accidents are a major cause of death in the United States, with more than 30,000 fatalities occurring each year, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. In Illinois, there are nearly 1,000 highway deaths per year, with 991 occurring in 2013, according to the Illinois Department of Transportation
