Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim?
Colorado has implemented limits on wrongful death cases that must be adhered to. The Colorado Wrongful Death Act specifically identifies which family members are eligible to bring a claim in the state and provides the statute of limitations to such claims.
According to C.R.S. § 13-21-201 to 204, immediate family members of the deceased (e.g., children, spouses) may file a wrongful death claim. The surviving spouse has the exclusive standing to bring a claim within the first year after the death, and both the surviving spouse and children have standing to bring a claim after. If there is no spouse, then the children may bring a claim within the first year. If the deceased is an unmarried minor without any children, the parents may file a claim. Please note that in Colorado, a wrongful death claim must be filed within two years of the date of the death; otherwise, the statute of limitations will expire, and you will lose your rights to file a claim. There are certain instances where you will need to act within 180 days. So don’t wait. Please call now.

How to Prove Wrongful Death
Once you have acquired the services of a wrongful death attorney, there are various elements that must be satisfied in order have a successful case. To prove wrongful death, the following must be shown to have occurred:
- Duty of Care: It must be proven that the defendant owed a duty of care to the deceased.
- Breach of Duty of Care: Prove that the duty of care that was owed to the deceased was breached by the defendant; for example, failing to abide by certain laws, by speeding in a car or other negligent acts, would be applicable.
- Causation: Along with proving a breach of duty, you must also prove that the negligent actions of the defendant directly caused the wrongful death to occur.
