Wrongful Death: In Illinois, if a victim dies as the result of the negligence of another, the Wrongful Death Act creates a cause of action for the benefit of the widow or widower and the next-of-kin for their pecuniary injuries.
The decedent’s surviving spouse and next-of-kin are entitled to c0mpensation, including money, goods and services which would have been provided by the decedent – but for the negligent conduct of another.
Pecuniary injuries also include the instruction, moral training and superintendence of education that the children would have received from the deceased parent. Pecuniary injury to the surviving spouse also includes loss of consortium – or loss of the marital relationship.
If you are the surviving spouse of a decedent who died as the result of the negligence conduct of another, or the parent of a child who died a wrongful death, you need the assistance of an experienced wrongful death attorney – you need Robert W. Karr & Associates, with over thirty years of experience in representing plaintiffs in wrongful death cases.
