Proving Damages in Connecticut Wrongful Death Lawsuits

No matter the circumstances, the loss of a loved one is the most difficult situation that many of us will experience in our lifetimes. If you question whether that loss was avoidable, or was due to the fault of another, contact Filan and Associates to learn your rights. We have successfully represented families who have lost a loved one in a variety of circumstances: motor vehicle collisions, workplace and construction injuries, medical malpractice, defective drugs and products, and aviation crashes to name a few examples. We will obtain the maximum compensation the law allows including compensation for the economic loss caused by the wrongful death and damages for the loss of life itself. You need tested and experienced counsel. In this difficult time of loss, let Filan and Associates be your advocate. We will investigate the case, obtain the necessary evidence, and identify those responsible for this tragedy.

Connecticut wrongful death law permits the recovery of damages for economic losses, as well as for the loss of life itself. Compensation for loss of income and support is just the starting point in a wrongful death action. Additional compensation to make up for the loss of the victim's own enjoyment of relationships, sports, hobbies, community activities, and special talents are also recoverable. Pat Filan's ability to find a dignified way to present the facts relevant to these important losses can help assure your family's security for many years to come.

With more than 25 years of practice focused largely on negligence litigation, trial lawyer Pat Filan knows how to investigate, develop and present your wrongful death damages claim effectively in such situations as the following:

• Medical malpractice
• Delayed diagnosis of cancer
• Improper treatment of illness
• Abuse or neglect in a nursing home
• Pharmaceutical manufacturer's negligence
• Accidents on the job
• Construction site injuries
• Motor vehicle accidents
• Dangerous products cases

The individual attention our wrongful death clients receive can also help you deal with the difficult transition that a fatal accident invariably forces on a family.
