Colorado Wrongful Death Claims

In the first year after a fatal accident, a spouse can bring a wrongful death claim. Children of a deceased parent can join the claim at this time. If the deceased was unmarried or if the surviving spouse does not bring the claim within the first year, then children can file the wrongful death claim. Parents of the deceased can file a wrongful death claim if the child was unmarried at the time of death and did not have any children.

In Colorado, wrongful death damages are both economic and noneconomic and can include:

• Past medical costs
• Funeral expenses
• Net pecuniary loss suffered by the surviving relatives
• Non-economic losses, including grief, loss of companionship, impairment of the quality of life, inconvenience, pain and suffering and emotional distress.

Alternatively, to claiming the various categories of non-economic damages, a surviving relative may elect in writing to sue for a "solatium" in the amount of $50,000, in addition to funeral and burial expenses and economic damages.
