Somewhere in the United States, a pedestrian is killed in a crash every 88 minutes. In 2017, pedestrian crashes were involved in 16% of roadway fatalities. In Illinois, the majority of deadly pedestrian accidents took place in Cook County.

The grief and devastation of losing a loved one due to someone else’s negligence feels almost unbearable. Surviving family members may be able to recover lost compensation by pursuing a wrongful death claim. In a wrongful death claim, a representative of the decedent’s estate – usually a close family member – seeks damages from those at fault for the person’s death.

At Kent M. Lucaccioni, Ltd., we understand the grief and pain that families experience when a family member is killed. While no amount of money can bring back a lost family member, a wrongful death lawsuit can help families address the financial difficulties associated with the accident.
