What is Wrongful Death?

Wrongful death is a legal term for a death that occurs due to the negligence, recklessness, or intentional actions of another person, company, or organization. In this context, negligence refers to actions that ignore clear risks or fail to meet the standard of care expected from a reasonable person. A wrongful death lawsuit allows surviving family members to seek financial compensation for their emotional and financial losses.

To pursue a wrongful death claim in Danbury, Connecticut, the following conditions must be met:

  • The death was caused, either wholly or partially, by another party’s negligence or wrongful actions.
  • The responsible party acted recklessly, negligently, or intentionally, directly leading to the fatal incident.
  • The death resulted in quantifiable harm to the surviving family members.

If these elements are met, you may have grounds for a wrongful death claim and be entitled to seek justice for your loved one. Our team, with many of our attorneys being women, is here to evaluate your claim and guide you through every step of the process.

Common Causes of Wrongful Death

Wrongful death can arise from various tragic circumstances. Our Danbury attorneys are skilled in handling wrongful death cases resulting from:

  • Auto accidents: Car, truck, motorcycle, bicycle, and pedestrian accidents
  • Workplace and construction accidents: Accidents caused by unsafe working conditions, equipment failure, or inadequate safety measures
  • Medical negligence: Deaths resulting from substandard care or medical errors
  • Premises liability: Fatal injuries caused by unsafe property conditions, such as slips, falls, or other hazards
  • Negligent security: Lack of proper security measures leading to violent crime or assault
  • Drowning accidents: Fatalities from poorly maintained or unguarded swimming areas
  • Birth injuries: Medical negligence during childbirth resulting in the death of the child or mother
  • Product liability: Fatal injuries from unsafe products or manufacturing defects

Regardless of the cause, we thoroughly investigate each case, identify the liable parties, and build a strong case to seek justice for your loved one.

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in Danbury?

Under Connecticut law (Conn. Gen. Stat. § 52-555), a wrongful death claim must be filed by the legal representative of the deceased person’s estate. If the deceased person did not appoint an executor in their will, a family member can petition the court to be appointed.

The legal representative, often a surviving spouse, child, parent, or grandchild, files the claim on behalf of all eligible family members.

The potential compensation may include:

  • Medical expenses related to the fatal injury or illness
  • Funeral and burial expenses
  • Loss of income and financial support
  • Loss of companionship, guidance, and emotional support
  • Pain and suffering experienced by the deceased prior to death
  • Punitive damages if gross negligence or intentional harm is involved

Our goal is to ensure that your family receives the full compensation needed to alleviate financial burdens and support your healing process. We offer a compassionate, client-first approach, focusing on understanding your needs and offering legal representation that puts you first.
