Contact Us For Free Consultation

Are you struggling with the loss of a loved one due to someone else’s negligence? Losing someone close is a devastating experience, and pursuing a wrongful death lawsuit can help you seek justice and compensation for your loss. If your loved one died in a motor vehicle accident caused by another party’s fault, you might be eligible to file a wrongful death claim. This legal action aims to address the financial and emotional impact on surviving family members.

In Chicago, the right to file a wrongful death lawsuit is typically granted to certain family members. Generally, a surviving spouse or child can initiate the claim. Additionally, the personal representative or executor of the deceased’s estate is also authorized to file on their behalf. Consulting with a legal professional who is well-versed in Illinois law is essential to safeguarding your rights and effectively navigating the legal process. Our knowledgeable attorneys in Chicago can guide you through each step, helping you obtain the compensation you deserve for your tragic loss.

Testimonials

What Our Clients Say

From the first moment of my call with Nick Kelly I knew I would retain his services. The professionalism, knowledge and compassion I was shown throughout the process was incredible. I was always up to date on the status of my claim from not only Nick but his paralegal team, which includes Ari and Mehak. They maximized my settlement and would not settle for anything other than what he first discussed with me. The process was simple and painless on my end as Nick and his team did all the work. I would recommend Wallace and Miller for all your personal injury claims and you will be able to sit back, recover, and watch this amazing team go to work for you. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.

I have found working with Wallace Miller to be an amazing experience. The team of Aylin, Ari, and Jessica are exceptional. They’ve put a lot of time into my case, and work hard to make sure that things are done right. No matter how many questions I have, they get me the answers I need, and are astoundingly polite. It is actually a pleasure speaking and emailing with them, and I appreciate the diligence that they have shown to my case. They have a way of making complex things understandable and less foreboding. I cannot express the gratitude I feel for their hard work. I strongly recommend working with Wallace Miller.

My mother was badly injured in a car accident, and I needed help. While I was trying to navigate her medical care, Nick, Ari, and Mehak were at my side. Nick has the perfect combination of expertise and compassion. He explained foreign concepts in digestible ways and catered to the specific needs of our challenging and stressful situation. He was very thorough, responsive, effective, and kind. I felt like I had a team, and I’m so thankful for their service and support!
