Understanding Wrongful Death Cases
Wrongful death claims typically arise when a family member has died as the result of negligence or misconduct. These actions could involve a workplace accident, medical malpractice, defective product, dangerous premises or even outright malice.
In Colorado, only a surviving spouse is allowed to file a wrongful death claim within the first year following the death. During the second year following the death, both the spouse and surviving children are allowed to bring a claim. If the deceased person left no spouse or surviving children, the parents may file a claim.
Recovering Compensation for Your Family
No amount of compensation can ever replace a loved one. However, it can ensure that those responsible are held accountable. In some cases, it may even help prevent a similar tragedy from happening to someone else.
Whether you lost a family member in an auto accident, as a result of nursing home abuse or some other unfortunate event, we can help you seek damages for:
- Grief and emotional suffering
- Loss of support
- Lost wages
- Funeral costs
- Medical expenses
In certain cases, families may be able to recover punitive damages if the responsible party committed gross negligence or performed a willful act that led to the death. Punitive damages are meant to punish a defendant with additional compensation to be paid to the victim's family.
