Let Drafahl Law Firm Be Your Legal Advocate
Among Illinois residents ages 1 to 44, unintentional injuries are the top cause of death according to the Illinois Department of Public Health. The most likely reason for these victims to lose their lives is auto accidents.
There is often a lot of money at stake in a wrongful death case because of the lifetime of lost income you experience and the lost relationship that you suffer. You need an attorney who is prepared to handle these complex claims. You’ll find that attorney at Drafahl Law Firm.
You should trust our team to handle your claim because:
- We have proven experience representing surviving family members who have lost loved ones in car accidents, due to defective products, because of dangerous dogs, or as a result of other negligence or wrongdoing.
- We have gone to court and won. You need a trial attorney in a wrongful death claim because many insurance companies are unwilling to make a large enough settlement offer to pay for a lifetime of lost companionship and lost earnings. An attorney with trial experience can present compelling evidence in court to get a large verdict.
- We are compassionate advocates. When you are coping with the grief of a lost loved one, you need an attorney who makes you feel heard rather than adding to your stress. Our past client testimonials show we can do just that.
We also don’t charge legal fees unless we win, so you don’t put your money at risk when we help you fight for justice for your devastating loss.
