Wrongful death claims provide a vital legal remedy for surviving family members who have lost a loved one due to another’s negligent, reckless, or intentional actions. In Colorado, these claims are governed by specific statutes that determine who can file, when they must file, and what compensation they may recover. Our Pueblo wrongful death attorneys at McCormick & Murphy, P.C. bring over 50 years of combined experience to help families navigate these complex legal proceedings during their time of grief.

The process of pursuing a wrongful death claim in Pueblo typically involves several stages:

1. Investigation and Evidence Collection: Gathering police reports, medical records, witness statements, expert opinions, and other evidence to establish liability.
2. Case Valuation: Working with economic experts, medical professionals, and actuaries to determine the full financial impact of the loss.
3. Insurance Negotiations: Many wrongful death claims involve insurance companies representing the at-fault parties. Our attorneys handle all communications and negotiations with these insurers.
4. Settlement vs. Litigation: While many cases resolve through settlement, we prepare every case as if it will go to trial, ensuring maximum leverage during negotiations.
5. Trial Representation: If a fair settlement cannot be reached, our experienced trial attorneys will present your case persuasively to a judge and jury.

Throughout this process, we handle all legal aspects while providing compassionate support to help your family focus on healing.
