Working with a wrongful death lawyer allows you to focus on your family while an experienced trial lawyer navigates the complex legal landscape on your behalf.

What Is Wrongful Death?

Every case is different, and wrongful death laws vary from state to state. That is why it’s essential to speak with a legal professional to discuss the facts of your case. In general, wrongful death claims can be filed by the deceased’s family members after incidents like:

  • Car crashes or motorcycle accidents

  • Slip and falls

  • Medical malpractice

  • Workplace accidents

  • Criminal activity

  • Negligence

This list is not comprehensive. Therefore, it is essential to talk to a licensed professional in your state. Our team of experienced wrongful death lawyers are members of the Illinois, Wisconsin, and Iowa State Bar Association. Since 1890, we've helped clients throughout Dubuque, Cedar Rapids, Davenport, Muscatine, Burlington, and the tri-state area recover compensation.

At Reynolds & Kenline, we know that no amount of money will ever make up for the loss of a loved one. However, the unexpected loss of a family member can lead to financial difficulties.

Our team of wrongful death attorneys can help your family receive fair compensation to recover all of your damages. Contact our law office to discuss the details of your case.

You may be liable to receive money to cover:

  • Medical bills of the deceased

  • Funeral and burial expenses

  • Financial benefits, such as employment earnings of the deceased

  • Pain, suffering, and emotional distress

    Survivors’ mental anguish

  • Punitive damages (if the death was due to malicious or reckless conduct)

    In addition to financial compensation, a successful wrongful death claim can bring closure to family members by holding any wrongdoers accountable for their actions.
