Under the Illinois Wrongful Death Act, families are protected as it allows them to recover economic damages, which includes medical costs before the death, along with the loss of earnings for the victim’s presumed life expectancy. In addition, victims may be entitled to compensation for loss of society, companionship and consortium. In situations where the victim did not suffer immediate death, under the Illinois Survival Act, the family may be entitled to additional compensation.
