When a loved one is taken unexpectedly, under preventable circumstances, the sense of grief is only compounded by frustration and anger toward the negligent party that is responsible for the wrongful death. The lawyers and staff of McDivitt Law Firm work with compassion, confidentiality, and diligence to help you through this terrible time. While we can’t undo the harm that’s been done, we can help you see justice served through a Colorado wrongful death claim.

Time and Consideration

Because of wrongful death statutes in our justice system, it’s possible for surviving loved ones to collect damages for the loss, pain, and suffering they experience because of the death of their loved ones due to another’s negligent or malicious actions. Something known as the statute of limitations is also in place to establish a timeframe during which a wrongful death claim can be filed. These statutes vary from state to state as well as from the type of case. A knowledgeable Colorado wrongful death attorney can advise you on how Colorado’s statutes apply to you to help ensure you act in due time.

You can likely pursue a wrongful death lawsuit if one of the following three circumstances applies to your loved ones’ death.

Your loved one was injured by someone who intentionally meant to harm him or her.
Your loved one’s death was caused by someone’s careless actions.
A manufacturer produced a defective, unsafe product, which led to your loved one’s injury and death.
