How a Wrongful Death Lawyer from Connecticut Can Help You in Your Time of Need
Our team can sympathize with the pain you must be experiencing after such a tragic loss, which is why we’re eager to pursue the financial support you need to cover costs associated with your loved one’s passing, cope with your loss, and deal with other struggles you’re facing due to your loss.
Here’s how a Connecticut wrongful death attorney can give you peace of mind about your case and seek the damages you need to stay afloat during this difficult time:
Investigate the Fatal Accident
To build a strong case for your compensation, your attorney must investigate the incident that caused your loved one’s death. They’ll gather photographic evidence, witness testimony, medical records, and other important forms of information to construct a winning claim on your behalf.
At Claggett, Sykes & Garza, our team has worked on countless cases and recovered over $1.5 billion for our clients over the years. We’ve worked on a variety of different cases and are confident that we have what it takes to investigate and file a winning claim for any of the following fatal incidents:
- Car accident
- Catastrophic injury incident
- Medical malpractice incident
- Motorcycle accident
- Premises liability incident
- Product liability accident
- Truck accident
Fight for the Damages You’re Owed
Once your attorney has analyzed all the evidence they can find and built a strong case, they’ll fight for the compensation you need to cover your losses and cope with the emotional suffering you’re dealing with. Depending on how your loved one’s death has impacted your life and finances, you could qualify to receive any of the following damages:
- Cost of your loved one’s end-of-life medical care
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Loss of financial support
- Loss of inheritance
- Pain and suffering
- Mental anguish
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Loss of guidance
- Loss of consortium
- Punitive damages, if appropriate
Comply With Important Filing Requirements
Your attorney must also abide by Connecitcut’s statute of limitations for civil suits. Conn. Gen. Stat. Sec. 52-555 gives you two years from the day of your loved one’s passing to file a lawsuit against the at-fault party. If your loved one’s death occurred after the initial accident, your suit must be filed no later than five years after the incident.
We understand that filing deadlines are probably the last thing you want to think about after losing a loved one. That’s why our team is here to handle your case and ensure all important paperwork is submitted to the courts in a timely manner. All you have to do is reach out to an attorney ASAP, and they’ll take care of the rest, ensuring all relevant requirements are met.
