Accidental and Wrongful Death in Fairfield County

This Fairfield County accidental death attorney can help

Most of us have come to accept the fact that death is an inevitable part of life.  But what happens when we lose a loved one too soon, and for reasons that could have been avoided?  We are left with heartache, financial loss, and many questions as to why this tragedy ever occurred.

If your family member was killed due to the negligence or carelessness of another, you may be entitled to compensation for your loss.  Wrongful death law in Fairfield County allows you to pursue legal redress through the courts, if needed, and Alexander H. Schwartz, Attorney and Counselor at Law, can help.

Who files wrongful death claims?

Typically, wrongful death claims are filed by surviving family members, such as the spouses, parents, or children of the deceased.  Lawsuits of this nature can be pursued when loved ones were killed due to accidents involving:

Car, truck, bus, train, or airplane crashes

• Construction sites
• Slip and falls
• Animal attacks
• Work activities

• • • What kind of compensation can be expected?

While Mr. Schwartz recognizes that nothing can truly make up for the loss of your loved one, financial remuneration is necessary and helpful.  You may be able to claim compensation that includes medical costs, lost wages, funeral expenses, and punitive damages.  Punitive damages are those sought to punish a party found guilty of wrongdoing, which you may be entitled to if that wrongdoing resulted in the untimely death of a loved one.

How long do I have to pursue a claim?

The statute of limitations for this type of personal injury is two years from the date of death, although exceptions can be made.  Discuss your case with Alexander H. Schwartz, Attorney and Counselor at Law, to see if they apply to you to file your claim under wrongful death law in Fairfield County.
