Wrongful Death

The Alton wrongful death attorneys at VanDerGinst Law, P.C. are dedicated to seeking justice for the families of people who have been killed my another person's actions or negligence.  Wrongful death is considered to be a civil action rather than a criminal action and is intended to provide the decedent's survivors with compensation for their loved one's death.  An Alton wrongful death lawyer will thoroughly review your case and determine the possibility of legal action. Compensation can be assessed for loss of companionship, lost wages, and emotional pain caused by the defendant.  In order for this to happen, however, it must be proved that the defendant's actions were the cause of death.  

If you or a loved one has suffered an injury, illness or death, that seems to have been someone else's fault, call VanDerGinst Law at 1-866-843-7367 or click here for a FREE online case evaluation. The initial consultation is free of charge. If we agree to handle your injury case, we will work on a contingency fee basis, which means we get paid for our services only if, and when, there is a money recovery for you. In many cases a lawsuit must be filed before an applicable expiration date, known as a statute of limitations. So please call right away to ensure that you do not waive your right to possible compensation.
