Taking Action: Why It’s Important To Act Quickly

While you should never feel rushed in your decision to take legal action, there are definite advantages to working with an attorney as soon as possible after the loss of a loved one. Taking quick action will give your attorney more time to gather relevant information about the facts and laws involved.

Taking action also gives your lawyer a chance to interview witnesses while their memories are still fresh, visit the scene of a fatality and investigate evidence before it is lost or damaged.

Further, Connecticut has a statute of limitations — a time limit set by law — for wrongful death actions. If you miss the statute of limitations, you may not be able to file a lawsuit in Connecticut courts.
