Aurora Wrongful Death Attorney

Personal injuries range from merely frustrating to genuinely catastrophic. Among the most traumatic are those causing wrongful deaths, after which surviving family members may seek compensation for their losses. Ultimately, losing a loved one cannot be reduced to a monetary value.

Still, the law attempts to provide at least some avenues for compensation with the assistance of an Aurora wrongful death lawyer. Zinda Law Group is here to help you navigate these avenues, for we believe no victim of a personal injury case should face the path to compensation alone.

If you have suffered the loss of a loved one and are considering filing a wrongful death suit, call or fill out our online contact form to start the legal process. An Aurora personal injury lawyer can help you now.

“Wrongful Death” vs. “Survival Action”

Legally, you have two options to seek compensation from a guilty party in the event of a death: a “wrongful death” claim and a “survival action.” The difference between the two is straightforward and worth noting.

Wrongful Death Claims

In a wrongful death case, close family members file a civil action against an at-fault party to seek compensation for the death of a loved one (legally referred to as the “decedent”). Damages in a wrongful death case are perceived to compensate the family members.

Survival Action Claims

By contrast, a survival action is brought not by family members on their behalf but by the deceased person’s estate. Damages in a survival action are perceived to compensate the estate; the court may then distribute any damages awarded according to probate or the decedent’s will.

Again, damages may include compensation for the decedent’s pain and suffering before death, lost earnings, funeral expenses, and medical expenses. You can learn more with a wrongful death lawyer in Aurora, CO.

What Are Laws About Wrongful Death Claims in Aurora?

An Aurora wrongful death lawyer can help you navigate the laws about wrongful death cases in Colorado. We can provide answers to questions like:

Who Can Bring a Wrongful Death Suit in Aurora?

Close family members may bring a wrongful death suit in Aurora. The law in Colorado places definite limits on who may bring such a suit. Generally, you may file a claim for your spouse during the first year after their death, though you may consent to allow someone else to file a suit.

You can file a claim as a spouse, heir, or designated beneficiary in the second year after death. In some cases, parents can handle wrongful death litigation at this point.

The legal implications of these various relations and their power to bring suit can also become complex. Our experienced wrongful death attorneys in Aurora can help you navigate these difficulties.

What Damages Can You Recover?

Again, the court designs damages in a wrongful death suit to compensate the surviving family members. Your family may receive economic damages to cover:

Loss of income
Life insurance
Funeral costs and burial expenses
Loss of guidance and loss of services

Your Aurora wrongful death lawyer can help you calculate these financial losses. Your family may also receive compensation for non-economic damages, including:

Pain and suffering
Loss of companionship (or loss of consortium)
Emotional distress

We can help you seek damages after a fatal accident in Aurora.

What Is a Statute of Limitations for Wrongful Death Claims?

Colorado has a two-year statute of limitations for most wrongful death claims. The deadline acts as an absolute bar against suit once time has elapsed.

In other words, if you are contemplating bringing a wrongful death suit, time is of the essence, and you should not wait to speak with an Aurora wrongful death attorney.

Should You Speak to a Wrongful Death Attorney in Aurora?

If you have suffered the loss of a loved one and are contemplating bringing a wrongful death claim, the professionals highly advise you to speak with an experienced attorney as soon as possible.

The sooner you speak with an attorney, the better they will be able to work with you to analyze the applicable law, gather the relevant evidence, devise an effective strategy, and ultimately help you secure maximum compensation.

We ensure that the families of wrongful death victims know their rights and receive fair treatment. Find out more by reaching out to an Aurora wrongful death attorney today.

Alexandria

I just wanted to say thank you so much to Ben Abbas and Neil Solomon. Since my fiance was hit by an 18-wheeler nearly lost his life and now struggles with persistent pain and has to use a cane on top of a litany of other health issues as a result of the accident, Ben and Neil fought hard on my fiance's case because it was a very complex case involving multiple parties. But not only did they fight hard for us on my fiance's case, when the man of the house and the breadwinner is unable to even walk without a walker for a little over a year and has had to spend two years fighting for disability, and as I've been supporting my fiance because that's what you do when you're loyal to who you love but it's difficult when you lose the breadwinner and they're not able to work, Ben and Neil helped us navigate the legal loan process and they have been instrumental in keeping us afloat. They always respond quickly often within a few minutes and get the paperwork processed almost every single time in the same day. We would have lost everything if it wasn't for them. We are so grateful for them and everything they have done for us. There are something like real life superheroes and if you're looking for a law firm from any kind of injury or accident, we strongly recommend them and Zinda Law Group. Because I can almost guarantee nobody will work harder for you than they will

Response from the owner: Thank you so much for your kind words. It's our mission to provide exceptional legal representation to our clients, and we're thrilled to hear that we were able to make a positive impact on your lives.
