Peoria is the oldest community in Illinois and the largest city on the Illinois River. With a population of 115,007, it is a fairly large city known partially for the many businesses that are situated there. Bradley University is also in Peoria, making it home to many college students as well.

Here is an example of a wrongful death lawsuit in the Peoria area in recent years:

  • In March 2019, the administrator of the deceased’s estate filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the City of Peoria and one of its police officers. The victim was shot and killed by her boyfriend who had been abusive the previous night when the officer was called. He also had an extensive past of abuse with the victim from previous years. The next day, the officer was called to the home, and hours later, he shot and killed her and himself. The complaint claims that the officer behaved incorrectly and negligently given the situation and did not take the necessary steps to protect her, thus leading to her death. The suit demands at least $50,000.
