What does a lawyer do for you in a wrongful death case?

If someone you love has been killed because of another person’s reckless neglect or an entity’s negligent actions, you may be wondering what a lawyer can do for you as part of a wrongful death claim. In Illinois law, a non-lawyer cannot represent the estate of a deceased person, so since you are obligated to hire an attorney to file an Illinois wrongful death claim, you should hire a Chicago wrongful death lawyer  that is qualified and experienced in representing claims similar to yours.Other than giving you the opportunity to file a wrongful death claim, your Chicago wrongful death lawyer will also collect important evidence to support your case, consult with experts in the field to help put your claim together, analyze insurance policies, and handle the unique circumstances your claim requires.The most important job a wrongful death attorney has during your case is being able to understand the full scope of loss that your loved one left behind. Your attorney will work with you to determine-and most importantly, prove-liability against those responsible, and provide proof to the court of your losses and the amount of compensation you and your family deserve for this loss.An experienced Chicago wrongful death lawyer may be able to recover damages for:

  • The pain and suffering caused to your one loved prior to death;
  • Any medical expenses incurred prior to death;
  • Loss of wages prior to death;
  • Loss of economic support to your family;
  • Loss of society to the deceased’s next-of-kin; and
  • The grief experienced by your family because to your loved one’s passing.

Hiring a Chicago Wrongful Death Lawyer

During this time, grieving for your loved one and taking care of your family should be your main focus, not dealing with insurance companies. Retaining the legal services of a Chicago wrongful death lawyer can help you focus on moving on with life without your loved one while your attorney deals with the legalities, research, and paperwork involved with your wrongful death claim on your behalf.The Chicago wrongful death lawyers at the Law Offices of Barry G. Doyle, P.C. will give you and your case the compassion and respect you deserve during this difficult time. Contact us today for a free case evaluation – (312) 263-1080
