Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in Hartford?

Those who can potentially receive compensation in a wrongful death claim include:

  • The surviving spouse or children of the deceased
  • Dependents, including life partners, stepchildren, or others financially reliant on the
  • deceased
  • Parents, siblings, or other relatives, in certain cases

Our team will work with the executor or administrator of the estate to help determine who is entitled to file the claim and pursue compensation.

How Do Wrongful Death Claims Work in Connecticut?

Wrongful death claims in Connecticut are treated as personal injury claims, but because the victim cannot bring the case themselves, the estate executor or administrator steps in. The responsible party must have been negligent or reckless, and this failure in duty of care must have directly caused the death.

For instance, in cases involving car accidents, trucking accidents, workplace accidents, or medical malpractice, the at-fault party's negligence may be grounds for a wrongful death claim.

  • Medical bills and long-term care expenses incurred before death
  • Lost wages and future income the deceased would have earned
  • Funeral or burial expenses
  • Ongoing pain and emotional distress caused by the loss
  • Loss of companionship and quality of life

Additionally, Connecticut law allows for the possibility of double or triple damages if the responsible party’s actions were grossly negligent, such as in cases of serious traffic violations or willful misconduct.
