Compensation in Wrongful Death Claims
Losing a loved one is both emotionally and financially taxing. If you lost a loved one due to someone else’s negligence, you deserve compensation to cover the many tangible and intangible consequences you incur. Connecticut law states that any damages owed because of an untimely death may be granted in compensation for the following:
- Outstanding medical or long-term care expenses
- Lost income, including future earnings
- Ongoing pain and anguish from the death
- Funeral or burial fees
Connecticut law allows courts to award double or triple damages in cases where a driver’s deliberate actions in violation of traffic laws constitute the primary factor leading to the accident. If this is applicable to your case, our wrongful death lawyers in Connecticut can help you file the claim with the specific plea the law requires, explaining that the driver’s willful or grossly negligent actions led to the death of your loved one.
