Denver Wrongful Death Attorney Seeks More Than Money
Representation of families who have lost a member requires a combination of legal knowledge and experience and the ability to listen and assist people through one of the most difficult losses that they will ever face. This firm has worked with families of dying clients and families of those who have passed away. Because we limit our practice we have time to spend with our clients helping them understand the law and their options.
In addition to standard wrongful death litigation, the firm applies concepts of restorative justice, legislation, policy changes, creation of charities and foundations, and other ideas so that the lives of others can be improved. Through our work, we have created means to permanently remember the person who has been lost.
Beth Klein, Colorado Wrongful Death Lawyer Representing Families
We have represented families who have lost children because of motor vehicle accidents, ski accidents, drowning, inadequate supervision, violence, and dangerous and defective products. We have helped families who have lost fathers and mothers.
In addition to resolving the wrongful death action, we have saved the home from foreclosure and helped children go on to college. During those representations, we have assisted families in creating policy changes,creating foundations, memorials, honorary events, and other mechanisms that make the world a little better for others.
Colorado Wrongful Death Law
Colorado's wrongful death law is found in the Colorado Revised Statues (C.R.S. 13-21-201 et.seq.) These laws specifically identify which family members are eligible to bring a wrongful death claim in Colorado and provide the time deadline in order to bring the claim - within two years of the death.
Colorado Wrongful Death Act
Colorado's Wrongful Death Act specifies and limits the kinds of damages that can be recovered. Colorado law specifies that wrongful death claims may be made to obtain monetary damages to cover the earnings the deceased person would have provided. However, our law, in most cases severely limits the amount of damages that can be awarded for non-economic losses - the most important part of any case - the loss of the person.
