What Is a Wrongful Death?

Under Section 52-555 of Connecticut state law, Injuries resulting in death that were caused by another’s negligent or reckless actions are considered to be a wrongful death. Connecticut law permits the deceased heirs or representatives to file a wrongful death claim against the liable party. Wrongful death claims are time-sensitive and require experienced legal representation due to their complex nature in establishing the extent of liability. The seriousness of the circumstances and ultimately the defense by the at-fault party requires the plaintiff to effectively prove that the defendant acted negligently. You may be entitled to compensation for expenditures that were usually paid for by the deceased loved one. They may include funeral costs, medical costs, and pain and suffering costs. 

In most cases, your Connecticut wrongful death claim has a statute of limitations of two years from the date of your loved one’s death. You are encouraged to reach out to our law firm as soon as possible to get started with filing a wrongful death suit. Deferring action can result in the statute of limitations being exceeded.
