What is Wrongful Death?

Wrongful death is when an individual loses their life due to another party's negligent or intentional actions. These situations can encompass a wide range of circumstances, including:

  • Car Accidents: When a driver's reckless behavior leads to a fatal accident.
  • Medical Malpractice: In cases where medical professionals make serious errors that result in a patient's death.
  • Workplace Accidents: When unsafe working conditions or employer negligence cause a worker's death.
  • Product Liability: If a defective product causes a fatal injury to a consumer.
  • Criminal Acts: Homicides and other criminal actions that lead to someone's death.

What is the Statute of Limitations for Wrongful Death in Colorado?

Colorado's statute of limitations for wrongful death claims is generally two years. You have two years from your loved one's passing to file a lawsuit. Failing to meet this deadline can result in the court dismissing your case, making it essential to act promptly.

What Damages Can Be Recovered in a Wrongful Death Claim?

Various types of damages may be recoverable when pursuing a wrongful death claim. While no compensation can ever fully replace the loss of a loved one, these damages aim to alleviate the financial burdens arising from their passing. These damages may include:

Economic Damages:

  • Funeral and Burial Expenses: Costs associated with resting your loved one.
  • Medical Bills: Medical expenses incurred due to the injury leading to death.
  • Loss of Financial Support: Payment for the income your loved one would have contributed to the family over their lifetime.
  • Property Damage: Settlement for property damage due to the wrongful death incident.
