Pursuing Compensation for Your Loss

In wrongful death cases, families may seek compensation for both economic and non-economic damages. These damages are intended to ease the financial burden and acknowledge the emotional toll of losing a loved one. Examples include:

Pain and Suffering: The suffering your loved one endured before their passing.

Medical Expenses: Cost of medical treatment and care leading up to the loss.

Funeral and Burial Costs: Financial relief for end-of-life arrangements.

Lost Earnings: Compensation for lost income and future earning potential.

Loss of Companionship: Addressing the emotional void and reduced enjoyment of life.

Working with an experienced attorney like George Ganim ensures that every aspect of your loss is carefully considered in the claim. Attorney Ganim will advocate for your family, guiding you through both the probate process and wrongful death proceedings to help you pursue the compensation you deserve.

Filing Deadlines for Wrongful Death Claims

In Connecticut, families have two years from the date of their loved one’s passing to file a wrongful death claim. However, during this two-year period, an estate must first be opened in Probate Court before a lawsuit can proceed.

Acting quickly ensures that these critical deadlines are met and allows for proper preparation of your case.

FAQs

In Connecticut, you have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury claim. If the extent of your losses isn’t discovered until later, this period starts from the date of discovery. However, no claim can be filed more than three years after the accident.

In Connecticut, you can recover damages even if you’re partially at fault for an accident. This is known as “comparative negligence.” For instance, if your damages total $10,000 and you’re found 30% responsible, you could receive $7,000. However, if you are found to be more than 50% at fault, you may not be entitled to any compensation.
