Wrongful Death

We stand beside grieving families seeking justice and financial stability.

A wrongful death lawsuit is a civil claim filed when a person's death is caused by the negligence or wrongful act of another party. Medical expenses, funeral costs, lost income, and the emotional toll on surviving family members can be overwhelming.

No amount of money can replace a loved one. But compensation can provide stability during an incredibly difficult time and hold negligent parties accountable.

How we help

In Connecticut, only the executor or administrator of the deceased's estate can file a wrongful death claim. We can help establish the estate representative and guide the family through every step of the process.

We manage evidence, coordinate with experts, and handle all legal strategy so you can focus on your family. Our approach is to provide clear information, honest guidance, and the advocacy your loved one deserves.

What you can recover

Pecuniary loss (financial support the family has lost). Medical expenses incurred before death. Funeral and burial costs. Loss of companionship, consortium, and guidance.

Punitive damages are rare in Connecticut wrongful death cases but permitted when the defendant's actions were extreme. You generally have two years from the date of death to file.

Here's what our clients say about working with Attorney Chambers and his team.

Mr. Chambers is hands down the BEST OF THE BEST!!! I was being sued for thousands of dollars. I called every attorney office in my area and NOONE assisted me like they did here. When I called Michel L. Chambers's office, EVERYONE I spoke to was kind, helpful and understanding. They took my issue very seriously and made it top priority to assist me.

Pollito
Being sued, only office that helped

I wholeheartedly recommend my lawyer Mr. Chambers to anyone seeking legal representation for Medical Malpractice or Personal injury cases. His exceptional legal expertise, unwavering dedication, and genuine compassion set apart from the rest. Thanks to his remarkable efforts, I received a settlement that not only provided much-needed financial relief but also gave me a renewed sense of hope for the future.

Moya Spence
Medical malpractice

A very close and human staff, always cordial and attentive to my case and my questions. I am very grateful to everyone, especially Celeste and her great patience with me. They are very professional people.

Ivan Pesantes
Car accident, names staff

I had a motor vehicle accident case that lasted three years, and I am incredibly grateful for the support and dedication of my lawyer. Throughout the entire process, he consistently reminded me that my only job was to focus on healing and getting better, while he handled all the hard work behind the scenes. He fought tirelessly on my behalf to ensure I was properly compensated for my pain and suffering.

Brandi Gibson
Car accident, 3-year case

Atty Chambers handled my accident case. I was involved in a hit and run. My case took a little more than 2 years. He was able to get me the max payout for my claim. I would certainly recommend him to others.

melissa valle
Hit and run, 2 years, max payout

Attorney Chambers was excellent! I had an unfortunate situation where I was rear-ended and it looked like I was going to have to cover my passenger's medical bills. Not only did I not have to cover the medical bills, I got my medical expenses and auto repair covered. The insurance companies were giving me a hard time and attorney Chambers told me he would handle it. He did.

Stella Rose Dugue
Car accident, took on insurance company

My mother found Attorney Chambers who has literally become the family Attorney for accident and injury. I called, he spoke, two weeks later had a settlement offer. His office called when they had information and then when they had a check in hand.

Danielle Livorsi
Family attorney, fast settlement

I called Attorney Chambers office as I needed information and clarification on an issue I was going thru. Attorney Chambers called me back on today (Sunday) which I didn't expect and he was very clear with my options. I appreciate him as a straightforward and honest attorney and I would recommend him to anyone needing service in his field of expertise.

Janet Robinson
Sunday callback

I called attorney Chambers about a medical issue I was having. I was curious to know if I had a malpractice lawsuit or not. The time he took out of his day, the way he explained everything to me, how polite and engaging he was, was just off the charts. Even though it was not a case he could take, he still took the time to break everything down for me and explain things to me in a way that I understood. I thank him for that and would definitely recommend him to anyone out there.
