Legal Question in Personal Injury in Connecticut
Wrongful Death Lawsuit
I am filing a wrongful death lawsuit for my mother. She died in an apt fire and wasn't saved in time. I was my mother's only child. Her family (brothers and sisters and parents) do not want for me to get anything. Can they file a separate lawsuit? Since I am the executor of the estate and everything, aren't the only one to file a lawsuit? What if they settle and receive $$? Aren't I entitled to all of it? Can they just cut me out???

Re: Wrongful Death Lawsuit
If you are already represented by a lawyer, then State Bar Rules prevent other lawyers from giving you advice about your case. So, you should address this question to your lawyer. If, however, you need a lawyer, then please contact me to discuss this matter at length.

You need a lawyer who could answer all of the questions. It would beimprudent for us to answer without knowing all the facts. Most lawyers do not charge for an initial consultation in a wrongful death case.
