My Brother fell in a parking lot of a restaurant and died. He was my mother’s caregiver. Can she file a wrongful death claim

Asked almost 3 years ago - Antioch, IL

My brother was divorced and lived with my elderly mother in IL. He was at a restaurant just across the border in WI. When leaving he fell in the icy parking lot and died within minutes of a closed head wound. Since he provided for mom’s care, which was also stated by one of the workers at the restaurant in the police report as they all knew my brother well, would mom be able to file a wrongful death claim against the insurance company of the restaurant?
I am not sure if I should seek a lawyer in IL or WI to discuss as I am now mom's Power of Attorney.
