Connecticut Wrongful Death Lawyers

Losing a loved one is one of life’s most painful experiences—especially when that loss is the result of someone else’s negligence or recklessness. At Pazz Injury Law, we represent families throughout Connecticut who are coping with the aftermath of a wrongful death. Our mission is to pursue justice, accountability, and compensation on behalf of your loved one and your family.

What is a Wrongful Death Claim?

A wrongful death claim arises when a person’s life is tragically cut short due to another party’s negligent, careless, or intentional actions. These claims are civil in nature and are designed to hold the responsible party accountable—whether it was a driver, employer, property owner, or product manufacturer. In Connecticut, wrongful death claims are brought under Connecticut General Statutes § 52-555.

Compensation Available in a Connecticut Wrongful Death Case

No amount of money can replace the presence of a loved one, but the law does provide surviving family members the right to recover certain monetary damages. These include:

Reasonable and necessary medical expenses and funeral costs.
The value of the decedent’s lost earning capacity, minus their expected personal living expenses.
Compensation for the loss of enjoyment of life—for the life the deceased could have lived.
Financial compensation for the death itself.
Compensation for the pain and suffering experienced by the deceased prior to death.

Dave is professional, knowledgeable, and truly cares about his clients. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing an injury attorney!

Patricia Dineen

Extremely friendly staff, all my answers were addressed in a timely manor. Atty. Pazzaglia, would always explain my questions to me in detail. Highly recommended this firm. It may be small, however that's why they were always able to help me. I really can say they were the best. Also praises to Kyle, Kim and even their temp person Sue.

Cynde

A bit over a year ago I was in a car crash in which I was not at fault and received injuries.
Fortunately, I met with Pazzaglia Law. They have saved me from so much stress, anxiety and many thousands of dollars for consultations, a surgery and many months of physical therapy. (The insurance company initially offered me $1000 for my injuries.)
Thank you, Dave and Kim, for all your efforts and hard work. The result was amazing, far beyond what I hoped for! I have already recommended your services to others and will continue to do so.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Bob Cimmino

Dave worked tirelessly over many months to ensure I received as much compensation as possible. My case was very difficult and complex, but Dave took the time to analyze every detailed. And when details were scarce, he solicited opinions from other professionals so that there would be no surprises from the opposing lawyers. I also appreciate his guidance before and during my deposition, making sure I understood the rules of the game so I didn’t hurt my own case, and stepping in when necessary to improve its outcome.
I see Dave as a very smart, compassionate and dedicated lawyer, and only wish he practiced law in other areas so I could take further advantage of these traits.
Sincerely,
Bob Cimmino

I can’t say enough good things about Attorney Pazzaglia and his team. They’ve been incredible with helping me navigate a really difficult Workers’ Compensation case. From day one they’ve handled everything with ease and professionalism, making a stressful situation feel manageable. They constantly check in, keep me updated and answer any questions or concerns I have almost immediately. Their responsiveness and support have been a game changer, there’s no way I could’ve handled this without them. Highly recommended if you want a team that truly has your back.
