What Can Your Family Recover?
Colorado wrongful death claims compensate the family's losses: financial support, companionship, and the life rebuilt around an absence. Non-economic damages are capped at $2,125,000; economic losses are uncapped, and a survival action recovers the estate's own damages.
Colorado sets a strict order of who may file and when. We handle every procedural step so the family doesn't have to learn statute law while grieving.
What a Colorado Wrongful Death Claim Is
When someone dies because of another's negligence, Colorado law (C.R.S. § 13-21-202) lets the family pursue the claim the person would have had. It runs beside any criminal prosecution, on the civil standard of proof, and it is often the only process that produces a full accounting of what happened. The complete framework (who files, in what order, what a survival action adds) is on our Denver wrongful death page. What Glendale adds is the venue question below, and a promise: we carry the case so your family can carry each other.
How These Cases Arise in Glendale
In a city this small, the fatal cases trace to the same forces as the injuries: Colorado Boulevard's speed and volume, late-night impaired driving out of the bar district, pedestrians crossing six lanes to get home, and the occasional premises death in an apartment complex (a drowning, a fall, a fire). Each has its own defendants and its own evidence trail, and each is investigated by a small police department whose file we supplement with our own reconstruction, camera canvass, and experts.
How We Build the Case
Quickly and completely, because fatal-case evidence has no patience for grief: scene evidence, vehicle data, camera footage, toxicology, and witness statements, preserved in the first days. We identify every source of recovery (the at-fault driver's coverage, employers, UM/UIM benefits the family didn't know applied, premises and dram shop liability where the facts support them) and we handle the statutory filing order so the claim is brought by the right family member at the right time.
What the Claim Covers
Economic losses (support, services, benefits) are uncapped. Non-economic damages are capped at $2,125,000 for deaths on or after January 1, 2025, and the cap lifts entirely when the death resulted from a felonious killing. A survival action recovers the estate's damages. No number restores anything; the claim funds the family's future and makes the conduct expensive enough not to repeat.
Venue, Deadlines, and Trial
Here is a Glendale fact with real legal consequences: the city is an Arapahoe County enclave surrounded on all sides by Denver. A crash on Colorado Boulevard inside Glendale belongs in Arapahoe County District Court; the same crash two blocks north belongs in Denver District Court, and the two jury pools value cases differently. We check the boundary on every case, because filing in the right court is free money left on the table by lawyers who don't. The deadline is generally three years for crashes (C.R.S. § 13-80-101) and two years for most other claims; camera footage on Colorado Boulevard is measured in days. Our office sits at Holly Street and Leetsdale, minutes from every address in Glendale: we are, quite literally, the neighborhood law firm. If trial is what it takes, we are ready.
