Yes, you can file suit in CT for an injury that happened here, and it is something that a licensed CT attorney like myself could help with. You should be aware that a "foreign" (out-of-state) company could try to have the case "removed" to Federal court if the amount in dispute... View More

Any recovery for wrongful death would be paid to the estate and would be divided up either according to the will or the laws of intestacy, not to you as the person who wanted to bring the action. The action would need to be brought by the executor or administrator.

Your question indicates you have a case pending. If you have an attorney, I would suggest this question should be directed to them.
I was approached by an officer while having a manic episode. I requested several times to see an EMT to no avail. 6 hours later I suffered a psychotic break and was finally brought to the hospital. Can I sue the police department for failure to get me treatment?
answered on Oct 5, 2023
Theoretically but what are your damages? You were in police custody, so you didn’t lose any time from work as a result of the failure to more promptly receive medical care. Did you incur any medical expenses that you would have been able to avoid if they had sought medical assistance sooner?
This will be throughly detailed and I will mainly discuss the mistreatment/negligence I endured from DCF, former foster care parents, medical centers, etc. I’m going to state their full names, locations, etc. I just would like to make sure that I can’t be sued afterwards.

An attorney who works with authors in the publishing industry could advise best, but your question remains open for four weeks. As a general matter, there is no controlling whether someone would file a lawsuit if they claim that they have been libeled or slandered. Good luck

There is not much information in your question to assist an attorney in determining whether you have a case. I would say that negligence cases, including medical malpractice claims, generally have a 2 year statute of limitations. You indicate that the incident occurred in 2020. Without knowing... View More

I sold a moped and the moped broke causing injuries to the person riding it
answered on Jul 18, 2022
it depends on whether you knew the moped had any damages or defects that led to the problem that caused the injury to the rider. It also depends on whether you had a contract where the buyer bought it "as is".
