The death of a loved one in a preventable accident can leave you and your family with a lot of questions. You may wonder who is responsible for the fatal incident and whether you have grounds to file a wrongful death claim with a New Haven wrongful death attorney. In Connecticut, the law specifically bestows the right to file a wrongful death claim only on specific parties – namely, the executor or administrator of the deceased person’s estate.

Wrongful death is the worst thing that a family can go through in Connecticut. While it by no means makes up for a preventable death in the family, filing a wrongful death claim can provide some measure of justice to grieving survivors. A lawsuit can hold a wrongdoer accountable and provide financial compensation to help the family move forward.
