Wrongful Death & Other

Legal Help When a Death Has Occurred

Bringing a Wrongful Death Lawsuit in Colorado

When a loved one has died in a tragic accident or from the negligence of a medical professional, the tasks of daily life can take all the energy you have. The idea of bringing a wrongful death lawsuit can seem overwhelming, but it may be essential.

A wrongful death lawsuit can help you and other surviving family members:

• Pay outstanding debts and medical bills left after a serious injury
• Make up for the wages your loved one would have earned
• Pay for the services your family needs now that your loved one is no longer there to provide essential help
• Find some level of justice by holding the other party accountable in court

A "wrongful death" occurs when a person has been killed by the negligence or wrong action of another person or a company. In some cases it is very clear that someone else was at fault, such as when a person dies from using a defective product or from a car accident or truck crash caused by another.

In other situations it may be ambiguous whether someone else was responsible. These include situations when a person dies from negligence in a nursing home or from an injury suffered at birth. These cases require careful investigation. At Elkus & Sisson, P.C., our personal injury attorneys work with professional investigators to conduct a thorough review of the medical evidence to ensure you have a case.

Carefully Documenting Your Loss to Obtain Adequate Compensation

Every member of your family has an important role to play in the life of your family, even children. Although a child does not earn income, children often play a pivotal position in the family and parents may suffer debilitating depression due to the loss of a child.

You can count on your wrongful death lawyer from Elkus & Sisson to provide the jury with a clear picture of the important role of your family member and what their loss means to you, both personally and financially. We carefully build the case for compensation for mental anguish and loss of companionship, as well as lost income.
