Wrongful Death Lawyer in Norwich, CT

Wrongful Death Lawyer in Norwich, CT: Compassionate Legal Help When It Matters Most

Wrongful death occurs when a person’s life is taken due to someone else’s careless, reckless, or intentional act. These cases can arise from car accidents, medical malpractice, workplace accidents, defective products, or unsafe property conditions.


In Connecticut, wrongful death claims are filed under the state’s wrongful death statute, which allows the executor or administrator of the deceased’s estate to bring a lawsuit against the responsible party. The goal is not only financial recovery but also justice and closure for the surviving family.



As your attorney, I explain every step clearly so you understand your rights, what to expect, and how we’ll move forward together. I know no amount of money can make up for your loss, but holding negligent parties accountable can help prevent similar tragedies in the future and provide your family with the stability needed to move forward.

Every wrongful death case is deeply personal, and that’s how I treat it. As the attorney handling your case from start to finish, I’ll work directly with you, not through layers of associates or assistants. I’ll take the time to learn about your loved one, the circumstances of their passing, and how it has affected your life.

Here’s how I approach these sensitive cases:


  • Personalized Attention: From your first call, you’ll speak directly with me. I’ll listen carefully to your story and provide an honest assessment of your options.

  • Thorough Investigation: I personally review police reports, medical records, and witness statements to build a solid foundation for your claim.

  • Expert Collaboration: When needed, I work with accident reconstructionists, medical professionals, and economists to calculate long-term financial losses accurately.

  • Compassionate Guidance: I understand that discussing the details of your loved one’s death is painful. My goal is to make the legal process as respectful and supportive as possible.

At Santoro Injury Law, LLC, we combine personalized care with proven legal strategy because every family deserves to be treated like more than just a case number.

What Compensation May Be Recovered in a Wrongful Death Claim

When pursuing a wrongful death claim in Norwich, CT, I fight to ensure your family receives the full compensation allowed by law. The damages in these cases are meant to reflect both the economic   and non-economic losses your family has suffered.


Recoverable Damages May Include:


  • Medical Expenses: Costs related to emergency care, hospitalization, or treatment before your loved one’s passing.

  • Funeral and Burial Costs: Reimbursement for reasonable funeral services and burial or cremation expenses.

  • Lost Earnings and Benefits: Compensation for the income your loved one would have earned had their life not been cut short.

  • Loss of Companionship and Guidance: Recognition of the emotional pain and the absence of love, comfort, and support.

  • Pain and Suffering of the Deceased: If your loved one experienced conscious pain before their death, that suffering may be compensable.

Each case is unique, and part of my job as your wrongful death lawyer in Norwich, CT, is to calculate the full value of your claim, including future financial impact, so that no loss is overlooked.
