Loss of Parents

Compensation for Death of a Parent

The loss of a parent is difficult, regardless of what stage of life you are in when you experience it. When the death results from a fatal accident, you have no time to prepare, emotionally or financially, for a future without parental love and support. Personal injury attorneys at our Chicago firm, Lane & Lane, help relieve our clients of their legal and financial burdens, providing them with the support they need to move forward and the powerful legal advocacy necessary to recover full compensation for their losses.

Your ability to recover compensation from those responsible for your parent's death, however, will depend on two factors — the specific circumstance surrounding your situation, and the skill of your lawyer in presenting those facts to an insurance adjustor or jury. A child can, through a wrongful death lawsuit, seek damages for loss of the parent's care, income, nurturing and guidance, as well as for grief, sorrow, and mental suffering. The child or the estate of the deceased can file a claim for medical and funeral expenses.
