Pueblo Wrongful Death Lawyer

The loss of a close loved one can put stress on the entire family. In addition to the emotional toll this loss can take, losing a family member can have an enormous financial impact. Family members that relied on your loved one before their passing could suddenly find themselves having financial struggles.

If you lost a loved one due to the negligent actions of another, speak with a seasoned personal injury attorney who could help you pursue monetary compensation. A compassionate Pueblo wrongful death lawyer could handle the legal challenges you may be facing while your family focuses on the grieving process.

What is a Wrongful Death Claim?

State law defines a death as wrongful if it results from a negligent, reckless, or intentional act of another person. Sometimes, the cause of a wrongful death lawsuit is similar to that of a personal injury claim.

However, since the deceased person is unable to bring a claim on their own behalf, a wrongful death claim ensures that a surviving family member could hold the negligent party accountable for their actions. A Pueblo wrongful death attorney could help a family seek justice for their loved one by navigating them through the claims process.

Who May File a Wrongful Death Lawsuit?

State law establishes strict limitations on the right to file a wrongful death lawsuit. As more time passes from the date of the death in question, more parties gain the right to sue.

For the first year following the accident, the decedent’s spouse has the primary right to pursue a lawsuit of this kind. If the decedent did not have a spouse, their children then have the right to file suit during the first year.

Additionally, a spouse may give consent for the decedent’s children to move forward with a claim. Should the deceased have no spouse or children, their parents have two years from the date of death to bring a wrongful death claim. During the second year following the death, a designated beneficiary of the estate also has the right to file suit. For more information, consult with a knowledgeable lawyer.

Recoverable Damages

The damages available following a claim for an untimely passing depend on the circumstances of each case. While some damages are similar to those recovered in injury claims, others are unique to wrongful death cases. A Pueblo lawyer with experience litigating wrongful death claims could assess the circumstances of a case and identify the damages to which a plaintiff may be entitled. Some common damages in this type of case may include:

  • Burial expenses
  • Funeral costs
  • Medical bills
  • Loss of companionship
  • Lost wages
  • Pain and suffering

Speak with a Pueblo Wrongful Death Attorney

If you want to seek justice for your loved one’s fatal accident, a Pueblo wrongful death lawyer could help you file a claim for damages. A dedicated attorney could take the burden off of your shoulders during this confusing and emotional time. When you are ready to move forward with legal action, schedule a case consultation with one of our caring lawyers.
