Helping Families Grieve After A Wrongful Death. Work With An Award-Winning Law Firm Today

Wrongful death occurs if the death of a loved one was caused by someone’s “wrongful conduct,” such as by medical malpractice, a motor vehicle collision, construction injury or defective product. Immediate family members of the deceased can seek compensation for their losses.

We Will Fight For Maximum Compensation

While no amount of compensation will bring back a loved one, it can help make up for any financial losses and hold negligent parties accountable for their actions. Our personal injury lawyers at Tremont Sheldon P.C. in Bridgeport, Connecticut, have recovered significant compensation for their clients in wrongful death lawsuits. Our lawyers can guide you through this difficult, emotional process and help you obtain proper compensation for your losses.

A wrongful death may result in financial difficulties stemming from lost income, medical expenses and funeral expenses. The law also allows you to recover for emotional losses, including loss of companionship, love and affection. Recovery for these damages may include both past and future losses. We will work as hard as possible to maximize the compensation that you can receive.

Over the years, we have recovered significant verdicts and settlements in a wide variety of wrongful death cases. The most recent example is a nearly $1 million settlement for the family of a 52-year-old mechanic, who was tragically killed when he was struck by a vehicle as he was loading an excavating machine onto a trailer owned by another individual.

The responsible driver had only $100,000 in available insurance, and we recovered that amount for the family. Through diligent investigation, we were able to find additional insurance coverage on the vehicle that the deceased was loading and prove through conflicting witness testimony that he was entitled to recover under that policy.
