Wrongful Death Lawyers in Denver Fighting for Your Loved One After a Reckless Accident

Losing a loved one to a senseless, willful, or careless act takes a great emotional and financial toll on your life and your family members’ lives. An accidental death happens when we put our trust and confidence in professionals like physicians, other drivers, or companies, and reckless behavior, defective products, or poor healthcare treatments result in serious bodily harm.

Some of the most common causes of wrongful death cases include:

  • Motor vehicle accidents
  • Large truck accidents
  • Motorcycle and bicycle accidents
  • Pedestrian accidents
  • Boating accidents
  • Slip and fall incidents
  • Medical malpractice
  • Construction site and workplace accidents
  • Swimming pool accidents
  • Defective products

Damages as a result of a negligent party, can be emotional, financial, and physical. From emotional stress to losing a companion to the financial burden of expensive hospital bills or funeral expenses, our Denver wrongful death attorneys with Ragab Law Firm, P.C. focus on helping grieving spouses and family members like you seek justice, and monetary compensation and punitive damages to protect your future. Book a free consultation to see how we can help: (303) 564-7313.

What is a Claim for Wrongful Death?

When a wrongful death occurs due to the negligence of another person or company, our wrongful death lawyers with Ragab Law Firm, P.C. can help you build a case and prove wrongful death, whether due to an avoidable accident, poor or unnecessary medical treatment, or a defective product.

Typically, spouses, and sometimes children, are eligible to pursue a wrongful death claim after a loved one’s unexpected and unnecessary death one to two years after an incident has occurred. It’s not uncommon to question or be unsure as to whether your loved one’s death was intentional as a result of careless behavior or simply an accidental death due to unfortunate circumstances.

There are four basic elements of wrongful death, including proving the death of a person was caused by negligence or willful intent, the survivors of a loved one’s death caused a loss of love and emotional support, financial support, and physical support.

Proving negligence and showing a connection between the action of another person or party and your loved one’s death can be difficult to measure, and the lines can be blurry. That is part of our important job as your Colorado wrongful death lawyer.

Our role is to help determine if you have a wrongful death case and from there, shape a strategy that allows the jury to exercise their best judgment in awarding you with fair compensation based on the current situation, ongoing consequences and the overall economic loss suffered.

Who Can Bring a Wrongful Death Claim?

Nothing can take away the pain and suffering of losing a loved one after a careless or senseless act that could have been avoided. The purpose of filing a wrongful death lawsuit, however, is to bear the brunt of the financial burden and all of the other unexpected consequences and expenses after an unexpected death.

Under the Colorado Wrongful Death Act, certain surviving family members, typically a spouse, have the right to pursue a wrongful death lawsuit against the party or parties responsible for causing their loved one’s death. Not every situation qualifies as a wrongful death claim, and legal action can only be taken if the deceased victim would have had legal grounds to file a personal injury claim if they were still alive.

Within the first year following a loved one’s untimely death, a spouse has the legal right to pursue a wrongful death lawsuit. In the second year, children or the surviving spouse also can file a wrongful death claim to help cover expenses, including:

  • Funeral and medical expenses
  • Loss of deceased’s services
  • Loss of the deceased’s income
  • Emotional loss and loss of companionship and support
  • Pain and suffering related to the incident

A Denver wrongful death attorney with Ragab Law Firm, P.C. can provide clarity in a challenging wrongful death accident, particularly how a wrongful death suit works, how Colorado law applies, and potential outcomes to expect based on your unique case.

What Damages are Recoverable in Wrongful Death Lawsuits?

There are a lot of moving parts and variables involved in a wrongful death action. You can bring our Denver wrongful death attorneys on to represent you if you lose a loved one to a car or plane accident, unnecessary surgery, or workplace slip and fall accident warranting a wrongful death claim.

In a wrongful death lawsuit, we protect the interests of you and your deceased loved one after a fatal accident and work to prove negligence, a breach of duty, causation, and damages. There are three types of damages recoverable in a wrongful death settlement: economic, non-economic, and punitive.

In exchange for a wrongful act, and in a Colorado wrongful death lawsuit, Ragab Law Firm, P.C. can pursue the following damages:

  • Economic damages such as medical expenses as a result of hospital bills or funeral expenses and arrangements
  • Support for the loss of your significant other’s financial contributions as they can no longer work or bring in future income
  • Compensation for the pain, suffering, and grief related to the loss of companionship

In Colorado, there are certain limitations related to pain and suffering or non-economic damages, among other nuisances. Our Denver wrongful death lawyers will work diligently to strategize and build the most effective case for the best results for you and your family during a challenging time. Book a free consultation to get started: (303) 564-7313.
