Frequently Asked Questions

Who can file a wrongful death claim?

Usually spouses, children or parents, or the estate's representative — state law decides.

Is there a deadline?

Yes, often two to three years from the death. Talk to a lawyer early.

How much does a personal injury lawyer in Illinois cost?

Usually nothing up front. Most work on contingency — a percentage of your settlement or verdict — so you pay only if you recover money.

Should I talk to the insurance company?

Be careful. Don't give a recorded statement or sign anything before talking to a lawyer — early statements are often used to reduce claims.
