How Can I Prove Who Was at Fault in a Wrongful Death Case?

To secure compensation for your loved one's death, you must demonstrate that some other party was responsible for the fatal incident. This is not the same as a criminal trial, and it involves entirely different legal procedures.

Consider a car accident, for example. To prove that the other party was at fault, you might look at traffic camera footage to show that the other driver ran a red light and T-boned the victim, resulting directly in their death. Other valuable evidence in a personal injury claim might include witness statements or photos taken from the scene of the accident.

Getting Compensation From a Wrongful Death Claim

In Illinois, the first people who can benefit from a wrongful death claim are usually the spouse and children of the decedent, but this right can be extended to other family members such as parents or siblings. The personal representative of the deceased person's estate can file this claim on behalf of their beneficiaries. It is important to note that all wrongful death claims must be filed within two years of your loved one's death, with very few exceptions.

At Kadzai Law Group, LLC, we can represent you in negotiations for a settlement for a wrongful death claim. We can seek appropriate compensation for funeral expenses, loss of future income, loss of companionship, and other damages. If the liable party will not agree to pay you, we can take your claim to trial and pursue a just verdict.
