After a wrongful death lawsuit, there are often damages that the family of the deceased can be awarded to compensate them for their loss. These damages will not completely remedy the pain and loss that you have gone through, but they are intended to ease the financial responsibility that comes with this untimely death. In Illinois, the money from the settlement may be given to the children, spouse, or parents of the deceased. Also, it depends on what the damages are and if they apply to you. The parents of the deceased likely would not qualify for the lost salary damages that can be awarded, but the children certainly would. Many things depend on the circumstances of the case, but the spouse, children, or parents are the parties that would be entitled to damages.
