About Wrongful Death

In a wrongful death case family members may be permitted compensation for any medical bills, pain and suffering, and funeral costs that arise. One of the main purposes of filing a wrongful death suit is to lessen the financial stress of the family members of the deceased. Although no monetary compensation can make up for the loss of a loved one, it is the first step towards gaining justice after such a traumatic event. Additionally, family members may seek compensation for loss of future income and benefits, loss of future inheritance, loss of parental guidance, loss of spousal companionship, protection and care, grief, sorrow and mental suffering of surviving spouse and next of kin, and punitive damages (if defendant’s actions were intentional). It is important that you hire experienced lawyers to handle your wrongful death claim. At the Chicago Law firm of John M. Molloy Law Group, we will make sure your family is protected in the case of a wrongful death. Call us for a free consultation regarding your case.
