Proving negligence is essential in a wrongful death case. The plaintiff must identify the defendant who caused the fatal injury, prove exactly how they caused it, and then prove the full scope of the damages resulting from their actions.
In Connecticut, the executor or personal representative of the deceased’s estate can act as the plaintiff in a wrongful death case on behalf of the victim’s surviving family and beneficiaries. While a standard personal injury case seeks compensation for the victim’s damages, a wrongful death case aims to secure compensation for the losses suffered by the victim’s family.
A successful wrongful death case could yield compensation for the financial support the deceased can no longer provide, funeral and burial expenses, damages to the deceased’s estate, and compensation for the family’s pain and suffering. A case award cannot replace a lost loved one, but it can ease the economic impact of the unexpected death and provide a sense of closure.
