If you have lost a loved one due to the negligence or actions of others, contact Zimmerman Law Offices, P.C. of Chicago, Illinois about filing a wrongful death lawsuit. Pursuing a claim against those responsible for a tragic loss enables the grieving surviving family members to recover economic losses and emotional damages, and may prevent it from happening to someone else.
Chicago wrongful death attorney Thomas A. Zimmerman is a highly successful personal injury lawyer representing clients in Cook County, DuPage County, Lake County and throughout Illinois, with verdicts and settlements totaling more than $400 million.
In an effort to find those responsible for a wrongful death, it is the firm’s standard practice to send a pathologist (medical doctor) to the funeral home or hospital of your loved one with your consent. The doctor will perform an autopsy to determine the cause of death, and the firm will use that information to help build your case.
