Under Colorado law, wrongful death occurs due to the negligence or wrongful act of another party. If the victim had survived and had the right to pursue a personal injury claim, a fatal injury will lead to a family’s right to bring a wrongful death claim.
Traffic accidents are a common cause of wrongful death, and Denver sees too many fatal crashes on I-70, I-25, and similarly dangerous highways. Further, fatal accidents can happen at work, on public or private property, or even in highly respected hospitals like UCHealth University of Colorado.
You may not know if your family member died as a result of wrongful death, and this is common. The good news is that consultations with a Denver wrongful death lawyer are free, and they can advise on your rights. Take the first step in finding your compassionate attorney by contacting TopDog Law Personal Injury Lawyers today.
One of the most significant challenges in a wrongful death case is knowing that your family member’s death was preventable and the result of another person or business’s negligence. Sometimes, you might only learn about the true cause of death following some investigation. It is always important to look into the possibility that a fatality was not truly accidental.

Each type of claim will involve different legal issues. TopDog Law will have a lawyer with experience in your specific type of wrongful death case.
A key consideration in every wrongful death case is how much your family deserves. You must know going into negotiations, so you are not shortchanged. Your Denver wrongful death will assess your family’s losses in both wrongful death and survival actions, and compensation might cover:
In Colorado, there are limitations on the amount of compensation allowable in a wrongful death claim. If you have a skilled attorney, they will do all they can to maximize the amount of loss paid to you.
In situations where the insurance company accepts liability for the wrongful death, you may feel confident that they will provide you with fair compensation. Unfortunately, that is rarely the case. Instead, adjusters will seem sympathetic while they simultaneously try to minimize your settlement.
Hiring a Denver wrongful death lawyer protects your right to full compensation. You should leave all communications and negotiations to your attorney, as this puts your best foot forward to the insurer and relieves stress from you.
