Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in Stamford?

In Connecticut, the executor or administrator of the deceased person’s estate must file a wrongful death lawsuit. If the decedent did not appoint someone, the court will typically appoint an individual to oversee the estate and proceed with the claim. In Stamford, the following individuals may be entitled to compensation through a wrongful death claim:

  • Immediate family members, such as spouses, children, or parents
  • Dependents, including life partners or stepchildren
  • Other relatives, such as siblings, in certain situations

We’ll work closely with you to determine who can file the claim and ensure that the responsible party is held accountable.

How Do Wrongful Death Claims Work in Stamford?

Wrongful death claims in Connecticut are treated as personal injury cases, but instead of the victim filing the claim, the estate’s executor or administrator does so on behalf of the deceased. To win a wrongful death case, the following elements must be established:

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

In cases of automobile accidents, workplace accidents, or even medical malpractice, the estate representative will need to prove that the other party’s actions were the direct cause of the fatal incident.

Compensation for Wrongful Death in Stamford

Although compensation can’t bring back a loved one, it can help ease the financial strain caused by an unexpected death. In Stamford, wrongful death claims allow families to pursue compensation for the following:

  • Medical expenses incurred before the death
  • Lost wages and future earnings the decedent would have contributed
  • Funeral and burial costs
  • Pain and suffering from the emotional toll of the death
  • Loss of companionship and comfort provided by the deceased

In certain cases, Connecticut law permits double or triple damages if the defendant’s actions were egregiously reckless, such as intentional misconduct or gross negligence.
