Lake County Fatal Pedestrian Accident Attorney

Lawyers Assisting With Wrongful Death Cases in Libertyville

In a typical year, more than 100 pedestrians are killed in accidents involving motor vehicles throughout the state, according to the Illinois Department of Transportation. This loss of life is all the more tragic, because the accidents often could have been prevented or avoided by the driver. Negligent drivers can be held accountable for the injuries they cause and the lives they take through a wrongful death action. These types of claims can be brought by close family members to help cover the loss of income, funeral expenses, and medical expenses prior to death, as well as the loss of companionship.
