| A wrongful death lawsuit is an action filed in court when the wrongful conduct of a person, a company, or some other entity results in the death of another person. Such lawsuits are generally based on state statute, and may allow the close relatives of a person who died as a result of such a wrongful act to recover monetary damages for lost financial and emotional support. Usually, the victim’s surviving spouse, children, beneficiaries or dependents bring such a lawsuit. The wrongful act may be based on a negligent act, a reckless act, or even a deliberate act, such as murder. Prosecution of the alleged wrongdoer in criminal court does not preclude a private, wrongful death suit. Some lawyers advance all costs of suit in their wrongful death cases and they charge no attorney fees unless they obtain a recovery on your behalf. In Chicago, Medical Malpractice is a leading cause of wrongful death and is a serious issue in our hospitals. Hundreds of thousands of people die from medical malpractice related injuries in a single year. There are many different ways that a wrongful death may occur as a result of medical malpractice, for example: * Surgical Malpractice * Diagnosis Error * Bacterial Infection * Birth Injury * Medication Error * Auto accident * Nursing home negligence But there are countless other circumstances under which a wrongful death may also occur. Basically, if someone's wrongful actions caused injuries that resulted in your loved one's death, then that is a wrongful death. Do not hesitate to enlist the help of a medical malpractice attorney. If the circumstances surrounding your relative’s death are considered a wrongful death, then Chicago Medical Malpractice Lawyers are always there to help. |
