Losing a loved one unexpectedly is one of the most painful experiences any family can endure. When the death is caused by someone else’s negligence, recklessness, or misconduct, the grief is often accompanied by anger, financial strain, and unanswered questions. In these tragic situations, having an experienced wrongful death lawyer by your side is critical. At Nares Law Group, LLC, we are committed to helping families in Colorado seek justice and fair compensation through wrongful death lawsuits and fatal accident claims.
A wrongful death occurs when a person dies due to another party’s negligent or intentional actions. Colorado law provides families and designated beneficiaries the right to hold responsible parties accountable. These cases not only provide financial support but also send a clear message that negligence will not be overlooked.
Damages available in a wrongful death case often include:
Each case is unique. An experienced wrongful death attorney can ensure your family’s losses are documented and fully pursued in court or negotiations.
Colorado Revised Statute 13-21-201 outlines who can bring a wrongful death claim and when. The rules are strict:
Because the timelines and eligibility rules are complex, families should consult a wrongful death lawyer as soon as possible to avoid delays that could bar recovery.
Wrongful death lawsuits arise in many tragic circumstances, including:
These events often result in fatal accident claims, where the surviving family members seek compensation and justice against those responsible. Each type of case requires a thorough investigation and legal strategy tailored to the facts.
Defendants often try to reduce or escape liability by raising defenses. Families must be prepared for these tactics, which include:
These defenses can be intimidating, but they are not absolute. A strong case built by a wrongful death lawyer can overcome these arguments by presenting evidence, witness testimony, and expert analysis. Understanding potential defenses early helps families stay ahead of defense strategies.
The statute of limitations begins running at the time of death, and the period to file a claim is often shorter than it is for any other type of personal injury claim.
