Connecticut Wrongful Death Attorneys

Losing a loved one in a fatal accident is a devastating experience, and it can be even more painful if the accident was caused by someone else’s negligence or wrongful act. You have rights, and you may be able to bring a wrongful death action against those who are responsible for your loss.

Our Torrington law firm, The Law Offices of Conti, Levy, Salerno & Goodrich, LLC, has been providing legal services to families in northwest Connecticut for decades. Our wrongful death claim lawyers are here to help you seek justice and compensation for your loss.

Fatal Accidents That Lead To Wrongful Death Claims

Unfortunately, some accidents result in fatalities. When these accidents are caused by reckless behavior, negligence or unsafe conditions, you may have a wrongful death claim.

  • Car accidents: Motor vehicle accidents are often caused by reckless or impaired driving, leading to tragic outcomes.
  • Medical malpractice: Medical negligence occurs when health care professionals fail to provide adequate care, and sometimes these mistakes can result in death.
  • Workplace accidents: Fatal incidents can happen as the result of unsafe working conditions or negligence.
  • Defective products: When a product malfunctions or is unsafe, it can lead to fatal injuries.
  • Premises liability: Fatal accidents can occur due to unsafe property conditions, such as slip and falls.

Our wrongful death lawyers at The Law Offices of Conti, Levy, Salerno & Goodrich, LLC, can assess your potential claim, investigate who was responsible for the accident and hold negligent parties accountable by filing a wrongful death lawsuit. Our fatal injury attorneys want to help you and your family seek compensation for the profound loss that you have endured.

Who Can File A Wrongful Death Action?

In Connecticut, wrongful death lawsuits are pursued by the executor or administrator of the decedent’s estate. In the event that there is not a named executor or administrator, then the person’s next of kin can file a wrongful death action. This can include spouses, children or other dependents who are entitled to survivors’ compensation. Pursuing negligence claims for wrongful death can be complex, but our dedicated wrongful death lawyers have experience pursuing complicated negligent claims and holding those responsible for injuries and loss accountable for their actions.

What Compensation Is Available In Connecticut For A Wrongful Death Claim?

In a wrongful death lawsuit, you are entitled to pursue damages for your loved one’s accident injuries, just as you could if they were filing a personal injury claim. In addition, you can seek compensation for the loss of that person in your life. Damages can include:

  • Medical expenses: Coverage for medical expenses can include the cost of medical treatment related to the deceased’s final injury or illness.
  • Pain and suffering: You are entitled to pursue compensation for the emotional distress experienced by the deceased before passing.
  • Funeral costs: You are entitled to seek reimbursement for expenses associated with burial costs or memorial services.
  • Lost wages: You can seek compensation for the income the deceased would have provided had they survived their fatal accident.
  • Loss of companionship: You are entitled to address the emotional loss suffered by family members and seek compensation for the loss of companionship.

Hiring an experienced wrongful death lawyer will help you make sure that you are seeking all of the compensation to which you are entitled. Insurance companies often attempt to minimize payouts, but having someone advocate for your rights can make a significant difference in recovering the full compensation you deserve.
