Wrongful Death

The Rock Island wrongful death attorneys at VanDerGinst Law, P.C. are honored to help families determine if their loved one was killed as a result of negligence or carelessness. According to personal injury law, if someone is killed and it can be determined it was the result of someone's actions, or lack thereof, their surviving family can collect damages from the third party. This can help with medical expenses, death-related costs, and help to ease the collective burden after a tragic loss. Wrongful death suits are not criminal proceedings. Civil justice differs from criminal justice and the third-party at fault will receive no criminal punishment as a result of a wrongful death lawsuit. However, the compensation the family receives will help them to cope in the aftermath of a sudden, tragic, and wrongful death. Contact a Rock Island wrongful death attorney if believe someone you love was wrongfully killed and the death was no fault of their own.
