Wrongful Death

When a person is killed due to the needless and negligent acts of another , their family can pursue a wrongful
death action.  I have the privilege of representing families in these claims and take it seriously.  Money compensation
can not bring people back to life or assuage their families’ grief, but it can help the survivors with their very
significant loss. In three days, I worked three different cases at different stages and have been surrounded by death.

I reviewed an ‘opinion letter’ for a medical malpractice case.  My clients’ son complained of headaches for over two
weeks and went to his doctor’s office twice.  The physician’s assistants who saw him didn’t examine him well, diagnose
him correctly or treat him properly.  Timothy died hours after his second doctors visit.  His parents are still shocked
and heartbroken.

I appeared in court in Jefferson county yesterday and opened a conservatorship for my 4 year old client.  His
grandfather testified and told the court he would manage and safeguard the significant money we recovered for the death
of the child’s father.  I never knew him.  Twenty nine year old man stuck down in the prime of his life by a truck
driver who ran a red light and was speeding.  The truck and tractor weighed 70,000 pounds — Matthew didn’t have a
chance.  So much to look forward to.  The child and grandfather’s loss is immeasurable.

My client’s husband, Jeff, went to a hospital in southern Illinois because he started having body shaking at work.  He
thought the emergency room doctors would take care of him. They didn’t. And didn’t give him antibiotics for 8 hours
while he was in the ER. When they did it was too late.
