Denver Wrongful Death Attorneys

Champions of the People

Under Colorado law, qualified survivors of individuals who die as the result of negligent or willful acts of other parties can pursue compensation for the loss of their loved ones.  But the provisions of the law are complex.  An experienced Denver wrongful death attorney is vital to proving liability, identifying qualified survivors, and ensuring the full value of a claim.  No amount of money can truly replace the loss of a loved one.  But the wrongful death lawyers at Bell & Pollock, PC in Denver have the skills needed to help ensure family members pursue the compensation they need to move forward during a difficult time.

When filing a wrongful death lawsuit, our lawyers address the following issues:

• How the death happened.  Establishing liability is vital in pursuing wrongful death suits.  Our wrongful death attorneys conduct thorough investigations, and we utilize investigative specialists in the Denver area when needed to help prove the details behind the accident—and all parties whose negligence or willful acts caused the death.
• How family members were affected by the loss.  As a general rule, the law permits only immediate family members to pursue compensation, but it is possible for others to qualify, largely based on their financial dependence on the deceased individual.  Your wrongful death lawyer at Bell & Pollock, PC takes the time to fully understand how the death has affected you and other survivors.  We then plan the wrongful death claim for all qualified parties based on the priority established by law.
• The damages.  Claimants are permitted to pursue economic damages that include the medical costs incurred for treatment of injuries prior to death as well as reasonable burial expenses.  Economic damages also include the lost past and future earnings of the deceased.  While there are no limits on economic damages, the law also allows pursuit of non-economic damage, such as grief, sorrow, and loss of companionship.  Non-economic damages are typically capped unless the death was caused by a felonious killing.  Punitive damages may also be awarded in cases where the actions of liable parties are determined to be willful and wanton.
