Devastating accidents are often caused by negligence or illegal activity, such as drunk driving, texting while driving, distracted driving or reckless driving. Our lawyers are skilled at investigating the circumstances leading up to a collision, recreating exactly what occurred and what should have been done to prevent the accident.

This includes working with forensic experts to recreate the scene of the accident, pulling phone records, working with witnesses and gathering all relevant information to build a solid case against the individual who killed your loved one.

Drunk Driving Accidents

While a drunk driver will be prosecuted as a felon for injuring or killing someone else due to his or her intoxication, the victim’s family has the option to pursue civil action on top of the criminal proceedings. In Illinois, the family can seek punitive damages, meaning you are entitled to damages above and beyond actual damages. Our wrongful death lawyers are knowledgeable and skillful in seeking maximum damages.
