Wrongful Death Norwich Attorney – Seeking Justice for Your Loved One

Losing a loved one is never easy, but when their death is caused by someone else’s negligence or wrongdoing, the pain is even more unbearable. Families are left grieving, struggling to find closure, and often dealing with financial burdens that come with an unexpected loss. No one should have to face these challenges alone, and seeking justice can provide not only financial relief but also a sense of accountability for the responsible party.

As a wrongful death Norwich attorney, I help families navigate the legal process with care, compassion, and a commitment to securing the compensation they deserve. A wrongful death claim is not just about financial recovery—it’s about holding negligent individuals, companies, or institutions accountable for their actions. If your loved one’s death was the result of a car accident, workplace incident, defective product, or any other form of negligence, I am here to guide you through every step of the legal process.

Understanding Wrongful Death Claims – Who Can File and Why It Matters

A wrongful death claim is a civil lawsuit filed when someone’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional act causes another person’s death. These claims allow the deceased's surviving family members to seek compensation for the financial and emotional hardships caused by the loss. Unlike criminal cases, which focus on punishing the guilty party, wrongful death cases focus on providing justice and financial relief to those left behind.

In Connecticut, wrongful death claims are typically filed by the executor or administrator of the deceased person's estate. If the deceased did not have a will, the court may appoint a representative, usually a spouse, child, or other close family member, to act on their behalf. The damages recovered from the claim are meant to support surviving family members who depended on the deceased for financial and emotional support.

Common situations that can lead to wrongful death claims include:

• Car Accidents: Reckless driving, distracted driving, DUI, or failure to follow traffic laws can lead to fatal crashes.
• Medical Malpractice: Misdiagnosis, surgical errors, improper medication, or failure to provide adequate care can result in a preventable death.
• Workplace Accidents: Dangerous job sites, lack of safety protocols, or defective equipment can lead to fatal injuries.
• Defective Products: Faulty machinery, unsafe medications, and dangerous consumer products can cause fatal accidents.
• Premises Liability: Poorly maintained properties, lack of security, or unsafe conditions can lead to fatal injuries, such as slip and fall accidents.



Every case is unique, and proving liability requires strong evidence. From gathering medical records to consulting with experts and reviewing police reports, I work to build a case that proves negligence and seeks the maximum compensation allowed under the law.
