Bozrah Wrongful Death Lawyer
Losing a loved one is an incredibly difficult experience. At Etemi Law, we understand that nothing can ever replace the void left by the loss of your loved one, but we can help you seek maximum justice for you and your family. You can expect us to fight for you and your family with the compassion, aggression, and energy that you deserve.
Understanding Wrongful Death Claims
Wrongful death actions allow surviving family members to hold the negligent defendants legally responsible and recover the compensation needed to provide for themselves and their family members in their loved one’s absence. The purpose of a wrongful death action is to compensate the surviving family members for their emotional and financial losses.
Common causes of wrongful death claims include:
- Motor Vehicle Accidents: Fatal crashes caused by reckless or negligent drivers, including distracted driving, drunk driving, or speeding.
- Medical Malpractice: Deaths resulting from surgical errors, misdiagnosis, medication mistakes, or other forms of medical negligence.
- Workplace Accidents: Fatal injuries occurring due to unsafe working conditions, inadequate training, or equipment failure.
- Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect: Elderly individuals suffering fatal consequences due to mistreatment or neglect in care facilities.
- Defective Products: Malfunctioning or dangerous products leading to fatal injuries.
- Premises Liability: Fatal accidents caused by hazardous property conditions, such as slip and fall incidents or structural failures.
Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in Connecticut?
Under Connecticut law, a wrongful death claim must be filed by the executor or administrator of the deceased person’s estate. However, the damages recovered benefit the surviving family members, such as spouses, children, and other dependents. If no executor is designated, the court can appoint a representative to pursue the claim.
Compensation in Wrongful Death Cases
A successful wrongful death claim can help surviving family members recover compensation for:
- Medical Expenses: Costs incurred before the victim’s passing, including hospital bills and treatments.
- Funeral and Burial Costs: Expenses related to laying your loved one to rest.
- Loss of Income and Benefits: Compensation for lost wages and financial support the deceased would have provided.
- Pain and Suffering: Monetary damages for the physical and emotional suffering experienced by the deceased before death.
- Loss of Consortium and Companionship: Compensation for the loss of love, companionship, and guidance from the deceased.
The Importance of Legal Representation
Wrongful death cases can be complex, requiring a thorough investigation and strong legal arguments. Insurance companies often attempt to minimize payouts, making it crucial to have a dedicated attorney advocating for your family’s best interests.
At Etemi Law, we will:
- Investigate the circumstances of your loved one’s death
- Collect crucial evidence, including medical records and expert testimonies
- Negotiate with insurance companies on your behalf
- File a lawsuit if necessary to ensure justice is served
Statute of Limitations for Wrongful Death Cases in Connecticut
Connecticut law imposes a two-year statute of limitations for filing wrongful death claims. This means that a lawsuit must be filed within two years from the date of death, or the claim may be barred. It is essential to act quickly to protect your legal rights and ensure that critical evidence is preserved.
