Finding Justice With A Skilled Gurnee, IL Wrongful Death Lawyer
Our firm sympathizes with anyone who has lost a member of their family due to someone else’s negligence. Wrongful death, legally speaking, goes beyond an unfortunate accident. Wrongful death is when someone causes the death of someone else through negligence or oversight, or malicious actions (like an assault). While there is a chance that the person who caused the death of your loved one will face criminal charges, there’s a chance that they may not, too, especially if the party at fault is an entity like an auto manufacturer or the manufacturer of a dangerous drug. If you believe that your loved one’s death could have been prevented had someone else taken the correct precautions for their safety, give us a call. Our Gurnee, IL wrongful death lawyer can explain your legal options in a free consultation.
Therman Law Offices, LTD is a personal injury law firm advocating for the rights of families who have been left devastated by the wrongful death of their loved ones. We have years of experience handling the most complex types of wrongful death lawsuits and a strong track record of successful settlements and jury awards for your clients.
Picking Up The Pieces After A Wrongful Death
A wrongful death can occur in any number of situations; the one thing that all wrongful deaths have in common is that the deceased person would have lived but for the negligence of someone else, either a person or an entity. Some common causes of wrongful death that we have successfully litigated include drunk driving collisions, medical malpractice, assault (such as a bar fight), premises liability, like falling down rickety stairs, and injuries from a defective consumer product or contaminated food or drink.
The party legally liable for your loved one’s death is responsible for paying money damages to you and your family. We know that no amount of money can make up for the loss you suffered, and we understand that talking about the value of your claim can bring up unsettling feelings. We prefer to think of the settlement as holding the wrongdoer to justice for causing your loved one’s death and providing you and your family with better means to rebuild your life and face the future.
Your settlement can cover the funeral and burial costs of your loved one, replenish the lack of income contributed to your household and retirement, and cover medical bills that your loved one incurred before they died. We may also demand non-material damages on your behalf, such as pain and suffering and loss of companionship. Our expert accountants properly value your claim, so you’re treated fairly by the other party’s insurance company.
