Wrongful Death
Denver, Boulder Wrongful Death Attorneys
A wrongful death occurs when the act, omission or misconduct of an individual or company results in the death of a human being. Wrongful death could be caused by motor vehicle accidents, plane crashes, faulty products, dangerous drugs, faulty machinery or equipment, work-related accidents, construction accidents, medical negligence and malpractice, property owner’s negligence, and criminal attacks such as gunshot wounds or stabbings.
Wrongful death claims can be brought by the survivors or beneficiaries of the deceased. Compensation includes funeral and burial expenses, medical expenses, loss of income and future income, benefit and future benefits losses, loss of companionship for the spouse and children, mental anguish or pain and suffering. In cases where there are minor children, additional factors may include loss of love, affection, care, guidance, parenting, support and other services. If the deceased experienced pain and suffering before his or her death, these damages may also be awarded.
Wrongful death cases are different from the typical personal injury case, where the injured person may recover damages from the responsible party. But if a person dies following an injury that was caused by someone else, the people who suffer are the surviving family members. While you can never be truly compensated for the loss of a loved one, the law allows the family to recover monetary damages for the wrongful death of an individual, providing at least some financial security for the future.
