DEATH CLAIMS

Death claims in Colorado are complicated.  Death of spouse claims and claims regarding the deaths of children are especially complicated.  John A. McDermott has extensive experience regarding both.

Wrongful death is a term that is used when a person's death is caused by another party's negligence.  If a loved one has been the victim of a wrongful death, you may file a wrongful death claim against the negligent individual, group or company.  Typically, a wrongful death claim is filed as a result of an accident, but it may also stem from a criminal act such as a violent robbery, or medical negligence.

Damages in a wrongful death case can include:

• Loss of any future income of the deceased
• Loss of future services typically provided by the person who has died
• Loss of the companionship, assistance and affection from a deceased spouse
• Negligence-related medical expenses
• Property damage
• Punitive damages, if the death resulted from criminal negligence

Many families find it difficult to file a wrongful death claim.  Not only must they cope with their grief over the untimely loss of their loved one, but they must also deal with complex legal matters.  An experienced wrongful death lawyer such as John A. McDermott can navigate the law and fight on your behalf so you can concentrate on healing emotionally.
