Illinois Estate Claim Tort is a legal action taken against the Estate of a deceased person to recover damages for personal injury or economic loss. This type of tort covers any situation where a person’s life was taken due to the negligence or wrongful act of another person. This includes wrongful death, medical malpractice, product liability, and other types of negligence. This claim can be brought by the deceased’s estate, the deceased’s heirs, or a legal representative of the deceased. There are three types of Illinois Estate Claim Tort: wrongful death, medical malpractice, and product liability. In a wrongful death claim, the estate is suing for damages due to the death of the deceased caused by another person’s negligence or wrongful act. In a medical malpractice claim, the estate is suing for damages due to the negligent or wrongful act of a healthcare provider. In a product liability claim, the estate is suing for damages due to a defect in a product that caused the death of the deceased.
