and Greater Connecticut Losing a loved one is devastating—but if that death was
preventable, caused by the negligence or malicious intent of another, you may also
be facing complex emotions and unexpected financial hardship. Although nothing
can make up for your loss, filing a wrongful death lawsuit can help you get
justice for your loved one’s death. In the State of Connecticut, most wrongful death claims must
be filed within two years. This is a difficult time, and you may feel
overwhelmed, but it is imperative that you reach out to a wrongful death
attorney as quickly as possible to discuss your case. At Mahon, Quinn &
Mahon, we understand what you’re going through, and we’ll help you explore your
legal options with compassion and support. When Do I Need a Wrongful Death Attorney?You can file a wrongful death claim if your loved one has
died of a preventable cause due to: - An auto accident
- A commercial transportation accident (train, air plane, etc.)
- Medical malpractice
- Nursing home neglect
- A criminal act
- A workplace accident or hazardous exposure
Even if the responsible party is already facing criminal
charges for your loved one’s death, you may still file a wrongful death
lawsuit. Under Connecticut law, a wrongful death claim may be filed
by an executor or administrator of the deceased’s estate, whether they named
that person in their will or were court-appointed, if no estate plan was
prepared. Wrongful death compensation can also be sought by a surviving spouse
and/or minor children in the form of a “loss of consortium” claim. What Can I Expect When I Work with a Lawyer for Wrongful Death Claims? In a wrongful death lawsuit, the defendant cannot be given
prison time or other penalties—you can only seek financial compensation.
Damages will typically cover the cost of funeral and burial expenses as well as
any necessary medical, hospital, and nursing services resulting from your loved
one’s accident or mistreatment. The court may also award damages based on pain
and suffering your loved one endured, their lost earning capacity, and the
impact on a surviving spouse. Why Choose Mahon, Quinn & Mahon When You Need the Best Wrongful Death AttorneyWhile grieving the loss of your loved one, it can be
