Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in New Haven?

In Connecticut, only the executor or administrator of the deceased’s estate can file a wrongful death lawsuit. If the deceased did not designate someone to serve as the executor, or if the appointed person is unable to serve, the court can appoint a representative to handle the estate.
Those who may be entitled to seek compensation through a wrongful death claim include:

  • Immediate family members, including a spouse or children
  • Dependents, such as life partners or stepchildren
  • Other family members, like parents or siblings, in certain cases

Our team will work with you to determine who can file the claim and help ensure the responsible party is held accountable.

How Do Wrongful Death Claims Work in New Haven?

A wrongful death lawsuit in New Haven is essentially a personal injury claim, but since the victim is no longer able to bring the case on their own behalf, another party (usually the estate’s executor or administrator) does so on their behalf.

To win the case, the plaintiff must prove that:

  • The defendant owed a duty of care to the deceased
  • The defendant’s negligence or wrongful actions directly caused the death

For example, if your loved one passed away due to a car accident, a workplace accident, or medical malpractice, we’ll investigate the case and pursue the evidence needed to establish fault and liability.

Compensation for Wrongful Death in New Haven

While no financial settlement can replace a loved one, compensation can help ease the financial burden that comes with an untimely death. If you pursue a wrongful death claim, you may be entitled to compensation for the following:

  • Medical expenses incurred prior to the death
  • Lost income, including wages your loved one would have earned in the future
  • Funeral and burial expenses
  • Pain and suffering experienced by the family
  • Loss of companionship, comfort, and guidance

In some cases, Connecticut law allows courts to award double or triple damages if the defendant’s actions were particularly egregious, such as in cases of intentional misconduct or gross negligence.
