Wrongful Death Law & Cases in Missouri and Illinois

A wrongful death results from “any act, conduct, occurrence, transaction, or circumstance” which, if death had not occurred, would have resulted in the person having the right to recover damages. These deaths may have occurred through negligence or through malice. Since the victim died, a personal injury claim cannot be made.

Wrongful deaths can occur in many ways, such as due to:

  • Negligent drivers
  • Irresponsible medical practitioners
  • Business entities
  • Dangerous product manufacturers
  • Unsafe public or private property

The victim’s family members can bring a civil lawsuit against the at-fault party. Family members who can file such a claim include surviving spouses, children, grandchildren, or parents followed by siblings. Absent these family members, the personal representative of the decedent’s estate may file the claim.

Wrongful Death Damages

The damages you may receive in a wrongful death action can include:

  • Expenses for the funeral and burial
  • Medical expenses incurred by the deceased due to the death-related injuries
  • Value of what the decedent would have earned if he or she had not died
  • Pain and suffering sustained by the deceased prior to death
  • Loss of companionship, comfort, services, and support the deceased person provided to his or her family members

Wrongful death claims must be filed within three years of the date of the death. At The Law Offices of Justin L. Mason, LLC, we understand that your loss extends far beyond the financial aspect. We are here to work vigorously to help you secure compensation you rightfully deserve in such cases.
