McNamara Phelan McSteen, LLC is located at 3601 McDonough Street, Joliet, IL 60431, serving families dealing with wrongful death cases in Will County and surrounding areas. The firm explains that wrongful death occurs when someone dies due to another’s negligence or wrongdoing, such as drunk driving, negligent commercial vehicle operation, workplace accidents, criminal acts, or other wrongful actions. In Illinois, wrongful death actions must be filed within two years of death (or within one year after final disposition of related criminal cases). Only the deceased’s personal representative can file claims, which benefit surviving spouses and next of kin. Recoverable damages include funeral expenses, medical costs, lost income, emotional suffering, and potentially punitive damages. The firm has over 20 years of experience in personal injury and wrongful death cases, having obtained millions in compensation for clients. They offer free initial consultations and serve clients throughout Cook, DuPage, Grundy, Kankakee, Kendall, and Will Counties.
