Wrongful Death

A fatal accident is devastating for everyone left behind. While a loved one can never be replaced, the law offers help for surviving family members whose loved ones were killed due to negligence by a third party. If your loved one was killed in a motor vehicle or workplace accident you may have grounds for a wrongful death claim. A wrongful death claim is a legal action where a surviving family member of the deceased can file a claim against another individual whose negligent actions resulted in the death of their family member.

Our wrongful death attorneys know that when a loved one passes away it can be an overwhelming and painful time. At this time of loss and confusion, you need legal advice that you can trust. The local, experienced attorneys at Berman & Russo have handled wrongful death cases of more than 30 years.

A wrongful death claim involves several steps which all need to be completed according to the law to ensure the best possible outcome of your case.

We will also advise you on the services and support available to family members trying to cope with a loved one's sudden and preventable death.

In addition to compensation, we can make sure the responsible party is held accountable.

Connecticut law allows survivors to seek a wide range of damages for the loss of a spouse or loved one, including but not limited to:

• lost future income of the deceased

• funeral expenses
• pain and suffering of the deceased
