Cook and Lake County liability occurrences which cause the wrongful death of a loved one have devastating consequences upon spouses, children, and family members. In addition to causing loss of financial support and companionship, wrongful death claims can also cause tremendous grief, suffering, and sorrow.

In Illinois, emotional damages stemming from wrongful death claims are recoverable and deserve to be compensated. Compensating these damage elements requires eliciting testimony from family members, grief counselors, and psychiatrists. Proving emotional suffering can also involve presenting mementos of a loved one such as birthday cards, family movies, and gripping memories.

Above all else, compensating emotional damages in wrongful death cases requires a Cook and Lake County injury attorney that will present these damages with dignity and class. You want the loss of a loved one and the effect it has had upon your family to be presented with the same degree of class with which your mother, father, brother, or sister lived their life.
