What Constitutes a Wrongful Death?

Wrongful death occurs when an individual loses their life due to the negligence, recklessness, or intentional actions of another person or entity. Common causes of wrongful death include motor vehicle accidents, medical malpractice, slip and fall incidents, and workplace accidents.

In Illinois, the time limit for filing a wrongful death lawsuit is generally two years from the date of the individual’s passing.
