The death of a loved one is always a painful experience; however, this event is exponentially more jarring when it occurs due to someone else’s negligence or intentional actions. At Suro Law, we are committed to providing unwavering support to families in the Colorado area who have suffered the tragedy of a wrongful death. While we cannot turn back time, our Denver wrongful death attorney can help you seek justice, hold responsible parties accountable, and secure the compensation you deserve.
Wrongful death occurs when an individual loses their life as a result of another party’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional actions. These tragic events can stem from a wide range of circumstances, including car accidents, medical malpractice, workplace accidents, or even criminal activities. Wrongful death claims are brought on behalf of the deceased person’s surviving family members to seek compensation for their loss.
In addition to a wrongful death claim, a survival action is a legal avenue to consider. While wrongful death claims focus on the losses suffered by the surviving family members, survival actions allow the deceased person’s estate to seek compensation for the pain, suffering, and financial losses experienced by the deceased individual prior to their death. This includes damages such as medical expenses and lost wages.
In Colorado, wrongful death lawsuits typically allow surviving family members to seek various forms of compensation, including, but not limited to:
Note that the specific damages that can be recovered vary on a case-by-case basis. We recommend consulting with experienced wrongful death attorneys to discuss your situation in more detail.
We highly recommend consulting with an attorney to ensure that you adhere to the applicable deadline for your situation and receive the compensation you deserve. If you do miss the two year mark, you will likely forfeit your right to any possible compensation owed.
We understand that it can be emotionally taxing to pursue a lawsuit as you are grieving a loved one’s death. However, many of the clients we have worked with have expressed that in filing a lawsuit to get justice for the wrongful death, they were able to find peace and closure. If you are looking to get started on filing your case, get in touch with Suro Law today and make higher chances of winning a wrongful death suit.
To succeed in a wrongful death claim, you generally need to prove that another party’s negligence or wrongful actions caused the death. This often involves providing evidence of liability and the losses suffered by the surviving family members.
More specifically, there are three main things you’ll want to prove in your wrongful death claim.
There is no cap on the amount of economic damages that may be awarded for a wrongful death claim in the state of Colorado. However, there are limits on non-economic damages, which are typically capped at $250,000. Exceptions do apply to this limit if a higher award is clearly in order.
Hiring an experienced Denver wrongful death lawyer to handle your wrongful death case is not just a matter of navigating complex legal procedures; it’s about preserving your peace of mind and allowing you to focus on what truly matters during a time of grief – remembering your loved one’s legacy.
