When is Death is Considered “Wrongful”
The following are some of the most common causes of a wrongful death case:
- Product liability: A manufacturer is required to produce safe products. When a product is dangerous, it must be labeled or accompanied by proper warnings and directions. A manufacturer that fails to meet these requirements, or is in some other way negligent, could be held accountable in a wrongful death lawsuit.
- Workplace accident: Obviously, some types of work are more dangerous than others. However, death caused by negligence can occur anywhere, in any sort of workplace.
- Car accident: Reckless, illegal, or distracted driving can cause a serious car accident. Motor vehicle collisions are the most common cause of wrongful death claims. When the victim’s death was directly caused in a collision where the driver was either negligent in motor vehicle maintenance or distracted, aggressive, or impaired, you may have cause to pursue a wrongful death claim.
- Medical malpractice: A doctor must use extreme care with their patients. A negligent or inattentive doctor could cause an accident that results in personal injury or death.

Who Can Make a Wrongful Death Claim in Connecticut?
Any adult may serve as the executor, but if the decedent failed to select someone to serve in this capacity prior to death, then the court will name the executor.
The executor is then free to file a wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of the decedent’s family members. These may include:
- Husband or wife of the deceased
- Parents or legal guardian (if the person who died was under the age of 18)
- Child or children of the deceased (biological or adopted)
- Life partners or financial dependents
- Siblings or grandparents, when financially dependent on the decedent
