Where to File in Connecticut
Connecticut General Statutes § 52-555 governs wrongful death claims and requires them to be filed by the executor or administrator of the estate. Connecticut imposes no cap on wrongful death damages — full economic and non-economic recovery is available. Hartford County Superior Court handles the highest volume of wrongful death filings in Connecticut. Connecticut is a significant insurance industry hub, and insurance defense work in Connecticut is sophisticated and well-resourced — making experienced plaintiff's wrongful death counsel especially important.
