Arlington Heights Wrongful Death Attorneys

Wrongful Death Lawyers in Illinois Representing Family Members of Fatal Accident Victims

Few events are more traumatic than the loss of a family member in a fatal accident. In addition to emotional pain, your family may face complex legal and financial issues. At Dickler, Kahn, Slowikowski & Zavell, Ltd. in Arlington Heights, our lawyers have many years of experience in helping clients deal with the legal and financial issues they face following a wrongful death. We have successfully represented families throughout Illinois, including Cook County, DuPage County, Will County, Lake County, Champaign County, Kankakee County, Madison County, Piatt County, Randolph County, and Sangamon County who have lost loved ones in car accidents, through medical negligence, and as a result of nursing home neglect.

Pursuing Compensation for a Wrongful Death

When a death is the result of another person's careless or negligent actions, the victim's surviving family members may be entitled to recover compensation for damages such as medical expenses incurred prior to death, funeral expenses, lost financial support, and lost personal services performed by the decedent. While nothing can bring your family member back, pursuing a wrongful death lawsuit can help your family address the financial losses resulting from the death. Compensation may also address the grief, sorrow, and emotional trauma your family members have experienced because of your loss.

Most of the clients we serve in wrongful death cases come to us because they have questions about the death. Those who were responsible for a person's death may provide a version of events that is designed to shield themselves from liability. It often takes a lawyer's assistance to get at the truth and help a family obtain closure.

Our lawyers handle all wrongful death cases on a contingency fee basis. If we are unable to recover compensation for your family, you will not be charged any attorney's fees.

A few of the recoveries obtained for our clients include:

• $2,200,000 wrongful death settlement – medical malpractice
• $1,650,000 wrongful death settlement – medical malpractice
• $13,000,000 wrongful death & survival judgment
• $850,000 wrongful death settlement
