Losing a loved one is always devastating, but when the loss is due to someone else’s negligence or misconduct, the grief can be compounded by frustration and unanswered questions. At Meyers & Flowers, we understand the emotional and financial toll these tragedies can bring. A wrongful death claim can help families seek justice, accountability, and compensation after such a loss.

Wrongful death happens when someone dies due to another’s negligent, reckless, or intentional actions, often from car accidents, medical errors, workplace incidents, or dangerous products. Illinois law lets family members, such as spouses, children, or parents, file wrongful death suits for the deceased.

The goal of a wrongful death claim is to recover damages that reflect the financial and emotional impact of the loss. Compensation may include funeral expenses, lost income and benefits, loss of companionship, and the pain and suffering endured by surviving family members. These claims also serve as a means of holding the responsible party legally accountable for their actions.

Time is an important factor. In Illinois, wrongful death lawsuits must generally be filed within two years of the date of death. Delaying action can result in the loss of evidence or the forfeiture of rights. That’s why it’s essential to speak with an experienced attorney as soon as possible.

The legal team at Meyers & Flowers has decades of experience navigating complex wrongful death cases. We approach each case with compassion and determination, offering personalized attention to every client we serve. Our firm has a strong track record of securing meaningful outcomes that honor the lives lost and support the families left behind.
