Q: I was in a car accident that was not my fault. My injuries from the accident caused me to miscarry.
Can I sue for wrongful death?
A: It is hard to prove that the miscarriage was caused by the fallout from the wreck and not anything else. Contact a membef of the Illinois Trial Lawyers Assn--they give free consults.
A: I am sorry for your loss. It is certainly a possibility the car accident caused you to miscarry, as it is unfortunately a quite common occurrence. How far into your pregnancy were you? In any event, I would recommend organizing all information related to this situation, including medical records and reports, and consult with a personal injury attorney immediately. A knowledgeable personal injury attorney will review the facts of your case, and advise you as to the best course of action moving forward. In addition, many of us offer free consultations, so it will not cost you anything to obtain a tailored, professional opinion.
