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!

I had the pleasure of working with attorney Tom Grace on my deceased father’s personal injury case.Tom was very prompt in all of his communications, he never left us guessing what was going on or where we were in the process, he offered up his honest opinion when it was decision making time and lastly he ensured this case wasn’t dragged out.I would highly appreciate his customer service and would absolutely recommend Tom Grace and the Chute, O’Malley, Knobloch & Turcy team.

Tom Grace is an amazing attorney. I highly recommend him, he was very professional, caring, and very detailed when explaining the status of my case. I was very pleased with my settlement especially during a time like this with this cover-19 going on. He managed to get things done in a timely manner and always kept me in the wraps with my case. Thank You so very much! I really appreciated it. If anyone needs a lawyer, Tom Grace is the guy to go to. Very good job!

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.

Question:
Are Punitive Damages Recoverable in a Wrongful Death Action?Answer:
One of the questions we’re often asked is, “Are punitive damages available in Illinois, if I believe my relative has suffered a wrongful death?” The short answer is no. Punitive damages are typically not available in a wrongful death case.
However, there are other elements of damages that are available. You’d be entitled to the economic loss that you’ve suffered as a result of the wrongful death of your family member. You’re entitled to compensation for the guidance, assistance, helping around the house, helping raise the children— the personal work the deceased provided. Those things can also be compensated for. Also, you’re entitled to the grief and sorrow that you’ve suffered as a result of the wrongful death.
Even though punitive damages usually are not typically available in a wrongful death case, there are other elements of damages that need to be explored and looked into. If you have any questions about a wrongful death case and what potential recovery you can make for that wrongful death, please give us a call.
