Seeking Justice for Your Loved One
Mark D. Brynteson understands the immense pain and sorrow you are experiencing following the sudden and unexpected loss of your loved one due to a wrongful death car accident.

Brynteson will fight for your rights and assist you in pursuing damages from the party responsible for the fatal car accident by filing a wrongful death lawsuit.
Losing a son, daughter, husband, wife, mother, or father is always a traumatic experience, particularly when their passing results from a tragic accident caused by someone else’s carelessness or negligence. In Illinois, a wrongful death claim is distinct from the decedent’s estate, meaning any recovery is not affected by creditors or debts associated with the victim. All sums of money obtained go directly to the surviving family members. Damages can encompass compensation for the conscious pain and suffering endured by the deceased, as well as the sorrow, grief, and mental anguish experienced by the surviving family members.
Wrongful death: Auto Accidents
When filing a wrongful death lawsuit in Illinois, the family member(s) must establish that the liable party indeed caused the death and that, had the victim survived, they would have been entitled to file a personal injury claim for the injuries sustained in the auto accident. Only the surviving spouse or next of kin can initiate a wrongful death claim in Illinois.
If your loved one was a financial provider for your family, you may be concerned about how to support your household. Additionally, there may be cremation and burial expenses, along with outstanding medical bills to address.
Damages from a wrongful death auto accident claim or lawsuit can also cover expenses related to the death, loss of benefits and future income, loss of companionship, and potentially punitive damages. Thus, it is crucial to retain the services of a personal injury lawyer for fatal accidents who understands how to secure the maximum recovery for your case.
Calculating damages for a wrongful death claim involves various factors, such as the decedent’s age at the time of death, the relationship of the plaintiffs to the deceased, and the projected income the loved one would have earned until retirement. Mark D. Brynteson will prioritize your case to help you collect your recovery as swiftly as possible. He recognizes that waiting until the statute of limitations expires before addressing your financial obligations is not an option, which is why he employs strategic and aggressive tactics to resolve your case.
