Every tragedy has its own story. Under Illinois law, wrongful death happens when someone loses their life because of another party’s negligence, recklessness, or otherwise wrongful actions. At Mahony Law, we’ve stood with families facing losses from different types of wrongful death claims.
Here are some common causes of wrongful death in Illinois:
No matter the cause, our Illinois and Wisconsin wrongful death lawyers fight to uncover the truth, hold guilty parties accountable, and safeguard your family’s future.
While no amount of money could ever replace the person you lost, fair compensation can relieve the financial strain their absence brings and offer stability for the road ahead. In Illinois, our skilled attorneys can help you recover damages for:
Our role is simple: pursue every dollar the law allows, so your family has the resources to grieve, heal, and rebuild in peace.
In Illinois, a wrongful death claim must be filed by the personal representative of the deceased’s estate — often a spouse, parent, child, or a court-appointed family member. This ensures the claim benefits those most deeply impacted by the unexpected loss.
The statute of limitations generally gives you two years from the date of death to file. Some cases, like medical malpractice or claims against government entities, may have shorter deadlines. Missing these deadlines can mean losing your right to compensation.
At Mahony Law, we guide you through every step of the legal process from consultation to compensation:
While Illinois allows families to recover from grief and sorrow without damage caps, Wisconsin law is stricter. Loss of companionship damages are capped at $350,000 for deceased adults and $500,000 for lost minors, and vehicle-related wrongful death claims must often be filed within two years of the incident.
Mahony Law’s knowledge of both legal systems gives families along the Illinois–Wisconsin border a crucial advantage in getting their case heard. Through it all, we keep the process transparent and approachable, so you know what’s happening, why it matters, and what to expect next.
