Judge dismisses wrongful death case in Illinois | Spiros Law, P.C.
A wrongful death case was recently thrown out due to the statute of limitations in the case. The case was filed by the parents of a 22-year-old that was found dead in her boyfriend’s home in 2005.
Her death was labeled a murder-suicide case by police officials, but her parents have filed a wrongful death suit against the estate of her boyfriend that shot her and the man who gave him a gun.
The family is claiming that the man who gave the gun to the boyfriend,negligently entrusted the weapon with a person that was suffering from depression. Neither of the defendants have been served since the suit was filed in 2007.
