What Is Wrongful Death?

Wrongful death occurs when a person dies as the direct result of another person's negligence. Our Hartford fatal accident attorney from our firm has worked with hundreds of families who have lost a loved one in a wrongful death accident.

Some of the most common causes of wrongful death include:

Motor Vehicle Accidents

Medication or Prescription Errors
Animal Attacks
Construction Accidents
Workplace Injuries
Slip & Fall Accidents
Unsafe Premises
Dangerous or Defective Products
Exposure to Hazardous or Toxic Materials or Chemicals

The region’s busy highways, like I-84 and I-91, bustling medical centers, and active construction zones create a range of circumstances that can lead to tragic incidents. At Cicchiello & Cicchiello, LLP, our team fully understands how local details impact wrongful death lawsuits in Hartford. We work to provide clear guidance, personalized support, and meticulous case management from your first consultation through resolution.

Types of Compensation in Wrongful Death Cases

When a wrongful death accident occurs as the result of another person's negligent actions, you have the right to seek compensation for both your economic losses and non-economic losses.

Economic losses include compensation for:

Funeral and burial expenses
Medical costs
Lost earnings and wages
Loss of financial support

Non-economic losses include damages for:

Pain and suffering
Loss of companionship

While no amount of financial recovery can replace the loss of a loved one, our team strives to alleviate your hardship with comprehensive support and skilled legal guidance. We are committed to pursuing the justice and compensation your family deserves, so you can focus on healing while we handle the legal burdens.

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Lawsuit in Connecticut?

Under Section 52-555 of the Connecticut General Statutes, the legal authority to file a wrongful death or fatal accident lawsuit lies with the appointed executor or administrator of the deceased's estate. Family members, including spouses, children, and parents, may receive compensation, but do not bring the case themselves. Understanding this distinction is essential, as it affects every stage of the legal process.
