Wrongful Death
The loss of a loved one just hits differently. No amount of money is ever going to bring them back to you, but now is also not the time to let the negligent party dodge the blame.

A Chicago wrongful death lawyer can bring the hustle and get you paid. Call Cierra, and she’ll treat you with compassion and bring the fight to those who deserve it.
If a family member or loved one has been the victim of a neglectful or wrongful death, speaking with an experienced injury lawyer will help protect your right to the financial compensation you deserve.

Most Common Causes of Wrongful Death on Chicago’s South Side
Ight, so boom, here’s the truth: your loved one’s life can be stolen, and you deserve justice. Now is not the time to play. At C. Norris Law Group, we have spent years fighting for our clients and ensuring they receive payment promptly. Whatever the situation surrounding your loved one’s death, we’re here to get you the money you deserve. Every year, around 222,698 accidental injury deaths happen, and the insurance company will try to lowball you.
Cierra N. Norris won’t let that happen. Even if you don’t think you have a wrongful death case, call Cierra anyway. Our team can review your case and determine how we can support you in the fight against insurance companies or corporations hoping to turn a blind eye to your claim. The most common kinds of wrongful death cases C. Norris Law Group handles include:
- Vehicle accidents. Aggressive drivers and distracted drivers can kill other folks driving their vehicle down the south side streets, or hit pedestrians crossing the road, on the sidewalk, or just trying to go about their day. If your loved one is hit and killed by a negligent driver, C. Norris Law Group is here to hold the driver accountable for their actions and get you paid for the pain you’ve been made to endure
- Medical malpractice. When a loved one goes in for a medical emergency at South Shore Hospital or is scheduled for a routine procedure at Chicago Family Health Center and dies, you have the right to hold these systems liable. Fatal medical situations can include missed or delayed diagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, and birth injuries. We trust our doctors to take care of us, and when we can’t, Cierra will take care of them.
- Work-related accidents. At C. Norris Law Group, we see how hard you and your loved ones work to build a good life on Chicago’s South Side. When a loved one is killed on the job, it’s time to stand up and get paid beyond your loved one’s workers’ compensation benefits.
If a third party, like a manufacturer or contractor, caused your loved one’s death, don’t let the insurance company try to sweep it under the rug. Cierra is ready to fight. - Dog bites. When someone’s dog attacks and kills a child or an adult, you have the right to hold them accountable. If they cannot train their dog properly or have specifically trained the dog to be aggressive, Cierra N. Norris can hold them accountable for their negligence.
- Premises liability. Is your landlord the worst? Has your apartment complex been dealing with a safety violation that has caused the death of your loved one? Cierra N. Norris is here to make sure their insurance company doesn’t get to offer you a lowball settlement and walk away all free and clear. 35% of all personal injury-related cases are due to slips and falls that happen on a negligent party’s property. We can fight them.
- Defective products. If you purchase a product that causes death, you and your family deserve justice. When a manufacturing company places a product on the market that has not passed safety tests or has not been subjected to testing at all, we call that what it is: negligence. At C. Norris Law Group, we’re ready to bring the fight to these manufacturing companies and make sure their insurance companies don’t try to play you.
- Poisoning. In 2023, poisoning accounted for 27.3% of all preventable deaths. This typically occurs in situations involving medication errors, defective consumable products, or cases where a property contains an unsafe amount of certain chemicals, fumes, or toxins.
Your loved one has died, and the negligent party, along with their insurance company, doesn’t want to pay you the compensation you deserve. Absolutely not; that is not how we play this. When a tragedy strikes your family, personal injury attorney Cierra N. Norris is the one to trust. She is ready to come up, review your case, and bring the fight to those who owe you some justice!
Let’s Get You Paid for What You Deserve
When your loved one dies due to the recklessness, negligence, or even the intentional wrongdoing of another party, no amount of money is going to bring them back to you, but it can help lessen the blow. You’re probably dealing with a massive headache right now from piling medical bills and the fact that you are down one income. When you work with a Chicago wrongful death attorney from C. Norris Law Group, we can help you recover some of these damages.
The most common kinds of damages we can help you recover include the following:
- Medical expenses. If your loved one required medical care at the time of their death due to the injuries they were suffering from, the costs of this treatment could be a huge burden that is absolutely unfair for you to have to bear. Instead, we can hold the liable party and their insurance company accountable for these costs, including expenses for hospitalization, surgeries, medications, emergency treatment, and end-of-life care.
- Lost income. If your loved one provided your family with some or all of the monthly income that went toward rent, food, etc., their death will cause you to suffer a massive blow, and it can become difficult to pay for your basic needs. Cierra N. Norris is ready to stand up and fight for you to recover the income your loved one would have earned throughout the rest of their life if they hadn’t been killed by someone’s negligence.
- Loss of companionship. You may be able to seek compensation for the loss of the loving and caring relationship you shared with the deceased. For example, your spouse might have provided your kids with schoolwork help, ensured there was food on the table, or taken on other caretaking responsibilities. At C. Norris Law Group, we can help you recover compensation for that.
- Pain and suffering. It’s not going to be easy to place a dollar amount on the emotional pain and grief you’re dealing with, but you may be able to cover some compensation for the psychological harm you and your loved ones have suffered due to the recent death. You may also be entitled to compensation for the costs of any ongoing therapy, counseling, or psychiatric treatment needed.
- Funeral and burial costs. When your loved one dies, you will likely hold some kind of memorial service, funeral, and burial. These events can be surprisingly expensive, and the last thing you want to think about is money when you are just trying to bury your loved one and grieve their loss. In a wrongful death claim, you may be able to recover compensation for these costs, and C. Norris Law Group can help.
In a wrongful death case, the insurance companies are going to try to ghost you. The team at C. Norris Law Group is ready to roll up, gather evidence, and secure for you the settlement that you and your family deserve. We aren’t here to mess around but rather to serve justice.
Why Call Cierra and Hire a Wrongful Death Lawyer?

The loss of a family member is never easy, especially when their death comes at the hands of negligence or recklessness. When your loved one dies, call Cierra, and she can do whatever it takes to win you compensation. Our team can be there for you during this legal process in several different ways, including:
- Initial investigation. Our team will start by complaining and reviewing all the evidence available in your loved one’s wrongful death case. By doing so, we can determine which party or parties to hold liable and build a strategy that effectively helps us secure compensation.
- Insurance review. In a wrongful death claim, the amount of compensation that can be recovered depends on the available insurance coverage. At C. Norris Law Group, we can review homeowner, driver liability, or professional malpractice coverage, as well as all other insurance policies that may be involved in the case.

- Litigation. Our girl, Cierra, is not afraid to take your case to court. She goes to trial to fight and to win and does not back down until she secures the settlement her clients deserve.
