Wrongful Death

Connecticut Wrongful Death Lawyers

The unexpected death of a family member is always tragic. It is even more tragic when that death is caused by a careless or intentional act, or negligence. The attorneys at Kennedy Johnson D'Elia & Gillooly are committed to providing aggressive representation and compassionate legal services to Connecticut families dealing with the tragedy of a wrongful death.

Experienced Connecticut Wrongful Death Lawyers

Wrongful death claims can be based on a variety of tragic accidents including fatal car and motorcycle accidents, trucking accidents, premises liability, medical malpractice, birth injuries, as well as worker’s compensation. Our attorneys have significant experience working with Connecticut families dealing with the emotional and financial consequences of a wrongful death.

Determining compensation levels in wrongful death cases is complex and is often determined by the expected lifetime earning of the deceased, conscious pain and suffering prior to death, economic loss to the estate, and the inability to carry on life activities. Insurance companies often make a settlement offer that does not take into consideration of the future needs of the family, but rather is intended to minimize their liability and compensation, further victimizing the family.

Our Connecticut wrongful death attorneys have extensive experience handling pre-trail settlement negotiations, litigation, and trials related to accidental deaths. We strive to avoid an emotionally-draining trial through a pre-trial settlement. However, we prepare every case to go to trial and we have an exceptional record of substantial settlements and verdicts  in wrongful death cases.
