        Chute Naperville Personal Injury Lawyers 5 Stars 01 AMAZING! I highly recommend this group. We had quite an unusual case, this group was our only glimmer of hope when our options were limited and no one would accept a complicated case. We worked closely with Colin O’Malley and his team. Words cannot do justice to how wonderful they are; highly competent, professional, very responsive, thorough and friendly. Colin went above and beyond to make himself available and to answer all our questions and concerns. If you need an excellent proficient injury lawyer that would fight for you, look no further!

        Mike took care of my case and I’m thankful for all of the help, time, and effort he put forth for me. Any time I had questions, Mike was always there to answer and then answer them again if I needed further clarification. Nobody really wants to be put in this position and dealing with a process like mine, but if you absolutely have to, go with him.

        Did you lose a loved one after a serious injury but they lived for some time? Check out this video to learn about timing of death after a traumatic injury.


        Question:

        What if My Relative Lives for a Period After the Incident and then Dies?

        Answer:

        One of the most common scenarios that we’re asked about is, “My family member survived after being in an accident, for a period of time, and eventually passed away. What does it mean or how does it impact their case that they had that period of time where they were still alive before they passed away?”

        In Illinois, that is called a survival act. That’s a fancy way of defining the time that the person was suffering leading up to their passing away, which is something that can be sought against the defendant. In other words, the period of time that a person was still alive before they passed away, the survivors, the family members – be it the spouse or the children – can, on behalf of the family member that has passed away, seek compensation for that suffering that they went through during that time period.

        It can be a complicated question. If you believe that your family member may have suffered for a period of time before passing away in a wrongful death situation, please give us a call and we will be happy to answer any questions that you have.
