Wrongful Death

Fatal Accidents in Illinois, Missouri and Florida

It is not possible to measure the pain and grief facing a family after the unexpected death of a loved one. A wrongful death claim is your chance to hold those responsible liable for your monetary losses, and obtain a measure of justice for the emotional losses of a loved one.

For the past 35 years, we at Bonifield & Rosenstengel have represented the families of people tragically killed in an accident throughout southern and central Illinois and in St. Louis, Missouri. We understand the emotional and financial challenges faced by a family in these horrible situations. That is why our attorneys will fight hard to help your family receive the financial compensation it deserves. Contact us to schedule a free initial consultation about your wrongful death claim.

Lawyers must have the ability to advise clients about the law, as well as the ability to listen to their personal concerns. In wrongful death claims, a lawyer's ability to listen is as important as their ability to inform. We will take the time to listen to your legal concerns, and also to your emotional ones. We understand the importance of providing clients with a thoughtful and confidential environment.

Another important job of an attorney is to take the legal burden off a family's shoulders. In the time following the loss of a loved one, confusion with the legal process only compounds the emotional stress. Our firm will take the legal burden off of you by handling all aspects of your wrongful death claim. We will provide you with an objective voice throughout all stages of your wrongful death claim.

After a fatal and serious injury, people are left wondering how they will ever cope with the financial loss. The financial expenses can easily overwhelm your family. We will help you obtain:

• Compensation for medical care and funeral arrangements
• Payments for the loss of a person's future earnings and benefits
• Payments for the loss of a person's health and retirement benefits
• Damages for pain and suffering experienced by you and your loved one
