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.

Not only was my PI case handled with complete diligence and integrity with stellar results but Mr. Chambers Jr at the end of my case personally delivered my check to me when I was unable to make it to his office.

M.S.
PI, check delivered in person

I went to attorney Chambers after my daughter and I were hit by a driver who flew through a stop sign and totaled my car. Him and his office staff are nothing short of amazing. I received my settlement in such a short time and he kept me informed and educated every step of the way.

Marissa McCurdy
T-boned, fast settlement

Mr. Chambers was very professional and very informative. He is someone I would highly recommend for your legal services. Mr. Chambers went above and beyond to get the best possible results for me. Just genuinely cares about his clients as individuals and this is important when one feels lost in the legal system.

I was at a position in my life where I needed help and Michael was there through every step of the way. I didn't have to lift a finger and he made it happen.

Brianna Vera
Personal injury

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.

I just wanted to say as difficult of a client as I was, Lawyer Chambers did not give up on me nor did he give up on my case! He stayed constant communication and providing me with updates. I can't tell you how amazing this man and his team have been to me, so I just wanted to get on here and say thank you again so much to Lawyer Chambers and team for everything that you have done for me and for resolving my case beyond what I expected!

Personal injury, self-described difficult client

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.
