Wrongful death law in Connecticut

In Connecticut, wrongful death claims are limited by law and must be brought in a representative capacity on behalf of the estate of the deceased person. Moreover, the law on wrongful death in Connecticut is not survivor-based. This means that the estate of the deceased can take action to hold wrongdoers accountable.

Claims brought under the wrongful death statute, General Statue 52-555, allow for the recovery of damages for the loss of life itself, the loss of enjoyment of life, pre-death physical pain and suffering, and reasonably necessary medical, hospital and other health care expenses together with funeral expenses.
