Pueblo Wrongful Death Lawyers
The phone call came. The knock on the door. The officer standing there with terrible news. Someone you love is gone, and you are left holding all the questions no one prepared you to ask.
You are grieving. You are trying to plan a funeral. You are trying to hold your family together. And somewhere in the back of your mind, you know that what happened should not have happened—that someone’s choice or someone’s negligence took the person you love away from you.
You are not sure what to do with that knowledge. You are not sure if it matters. You are not even sure if thinking about it right now makes you a bad person.
It does not.
Accountability matters. Not because it brings anyone back. Not because it fills the space they left. But because it names what happened, it holds people responsible, and it can stop the same thing from happening to another family.
That is what a wrongful death claim is. It is not about profit. It is not about exploiting grief. It is about making sure the person or company whose actions caused this loss answers for it.
McCormick & Murphy represents families in Pueblo, Pueblo West, Cañon City, Florence, Walsenburg, and across southern Colorado who have lost someone because of someone else’s wrongdoing. Kirk McCormick and Jay Murphy know that no settlement will ever be enough. But they also know that families deserve answers, accountability, and the financial stability to move forward without being crushed by medical bills, funeral costs, and lost income.
What Qualifies as Wrongful Death in Colorado
A wrongful death happens when someone dies because of another person’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional act. The person responsible could be an individual, a business, a government agency, or a corporation.
Common causes of wrongful death in Pueblo include:
- Car accidents caused by drunk, distracted, or speeding drivers
- Truck accidents involving driver fatigue or unsafe cargo loading
- Motorcycle collisions on Highway 50 or Interstate 25
- Workplace accidents at construction sites, oil fields, or industrial facilities
- Medical malpractice, including surgical errors and misdiagnoses
- Nursing home abuse or neglect
- Pedestrian and bicycle accidents
- Defective products that cause fatal injuries
- Criminal acts such as assault or murder when civil liability exists
If someone you love died because someone else acted carelessly, recklessly, or intentionally, you may have the right to file a wrongful death claim. The specifics of your situation matter, and that is where a lawyer who knows Colorado wrongful death law can help.
Who Can File a Wrongful Death Lawsuit in Pueblo
Colorado law is specific about who has the legal right to bring a wrongful death claim. The lawsuit must be filed by the personal representative of the deceased person’s estate—usually someone named in the will, or someone appointed by the court if there is no will.
But the claim itself is filed on behalf of certain family members, called statutory beneficiaries. In Colorado, that includes:
- The surviving spouse
- The children of the deceased
- The parents of the deceased, if there is no surviving spouse or children
If none of these people exist, the claim can be brought on behalf of the next of kin, which may include siblings or other relatives who were financially dependent on the deceased.
This matters because not everyone who is grieving has the legal standing to file. A longtime partner who was not married, a stepchild who was never legally adopted, or a sibling when parents are still living may not be able to bring a claim under Colorado law—even if their loss is just as real.
Kirk and Jay can walk you through who qualifies in your specific case and make sure the claim is filed correctly.
What a Wrongful Death Claim Covers
A wrongful death claim is meant to compensate the surviving family for both the financial and emotional losses caused by the death. Colorado law recognizes several categories of damages.
Economic damages cover the measurable financial harm. That includes:
- Medical bills from treatment before death
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Lost wages and benefits the deceased would have earned over their lifetime
- Loss of household services the deceased provided
- Loss of inheritance caused by the premature death
Non-economic damages address the human loss. That includes:
- Loss of companionship, comfort, and care
- Loss of guidance, especially for children who lost a parent
- Emotional pain and suffering of the surviving family
- Loss of consortium for a surviving spouse
There is no formula that makes this fair. No amount of money brings someone back. But the law recognizes that families should not be financially destroyed on top of emotionally devastated. A wrongful death settlement or verdict is meant to provide stability so you can grieve without losing your home, your savings, or your future.
The Statute of Limitations in Colorado
In Colorado, you generally have two years from the date of death to file a wrongful death lawsuit. That deadline is firm. If you miss it, you lose the right to bring a claim, no matter how strong your case is.
Two years sounds like a long time when you are standing at a funeral. It is not. Grief does not follow a schedule. Investigations take time. Evidence has to be gathered, witnesses interviewed, experts consulted. Waiting too long can mean losing critical proof or running out of time entirely.
Some families feel guilty about moving forward with a claim while they are still grieving. That guilt is understandable. It is also misplaced. Taking legal action does not mean you are over it. It means you are making sure the person or company responsible is held accountable.
McCormick & Murphy will handle the legal process so you do not have to. You should be with your family. You should be taking care of each other. You should not be fighting insurance companies or filing court papers.
How the Wrongful Death Process Works
Most families have never been through this before. They do not know what to expect, and they worry that pursuing a claim will turn into a years-long courtroom battle that keeps the wound open.
It does not have to work that way.
The process usually starts with an investigation. Kirk and Jay will gather medical records, accident reports, witness statements, employment records, and any other evidence that shows what happened and who is responsible. That might involve working with accident reconstruction experts, medical professionals, or financial analysts.
Once the facts are clear, your lawyer will file a claim with the at-fault party’s insurance company. In many cases, the insurer will make a settlement offer. Sometimes that offer is fair. Often it is not. Insurance companies know that grieving families are vulnerable, and they make lowball offers hoping you will take the first check just to be done with it.
Your lawyer’s job is to evaluate that offer against what your family has actually lost—not just now, but over the years to come. If the offer does not reflect the true value of your claim, your lawyer will negotiate. If the insurance company still will not offer a fair settlement, your lawyer will file a lawsuit and take the case to court.
Many wrongful death cases settle before trial. When they do go to trial, it is because the insurance company refused to take responsibility or offered an amount so far below what is fair that settlement was not an option.
How Wrongful Death Differs from a Personal Injury Claim
A personal injury claim is brought by the person who was hurt. A wrongful death claim is brought on behalf of the person who died.
That sounds simple, but it changes everything about the case. In a personal injury claim, the injured person can recover damages for their own medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and loss of quality of life. In a wrongful death claim, those damages are part of the estate claim, but the family also recovers separately for their own losses—loss of companionship, guidance, financial support, and the emotional devastation of losing someone they love.
The two types of claims can overlap. If someone was injured in an accident and survived for days or weeks before dying, the estate may bring both a personal injury claim for the suffering before death and a wrongful death claim for the losses after. If the person died immediately, there may be only a wrongful death claim.
Colorado law treats these claims differently, and the damages available are different. That is why working with a lawyer who knows wrongful death law matters.
What If Your Loved One Was Partially at Fault
Colorado follows a modified comparative negligence rule. That means even if the person who died was partially at fault for the accident, you can still recover damages—as long as they were not more than 50 percent responsible.
If your loved one was 20 percent at fault and the other driver was 80 percent at fault, your damages will be reduced by 20 percent. If your loved one was 51 percent or more at fault, you cannot recover anything under Colorado law.
Insurance companies will look for any reason to shift blame. They will argue that your loved one was speeding, not wearing a seatbelt, or should have seen the danger coming. That is part of their strategy to reduce what they have to pay.
Your lawyer’s job is to investigate what actually happened, challenge unfair accusations, and make sure fault is assigned correctly. Just because the insurance company claims your loved one was partially responsible does not make it true.
Why Families in Pueblo Choose McCormick & Murphy
Kirk McCormick and Jay Murphy have spent their careers representing people who have been hurt and families who have lost someone because of someone else’s wrongdoing. They do not handle dozens of practice areas. They focus on personal injury and wrongful death because those cases require a level of attention, empathy, and legal skill that you cannot deliver if you are stretched too thin.
They know Pueblo. They know the courts, the local defense attorneys, and the insurance companies that operate in southern Colorado. They know how these cases are fought and won.
More than that, they know what it is like to sit across from a family that is broken and help them understand that pursuing justice is not selfish—it is necessary.
You will not be handed off to a paralegal or left wondering what is happening with your case. Kirk and Jay are accessible. They return calls. They explain what is happening in language that makes sense. They do not talk down to you, and they do not rush you through the process.
They represent families in Pueblo, Pueblo West, Salt Creek, Blende, Avondale, Boone, Colorado City, Rye, Cañon City, Florence, Penrose, Walsenburg, and Aguilar. If someone you love died because of someone else’s negligence or wrongdoing, they will help you understand your rights and what comes next.
What Justice Looks Like in a Wrongful Death Case
Justice does not look the way people think it does. It is not dramatic. It is not loud. It is not a moment in a courtroom where everything suddenly feels fair again.
Justice is making sure the hospital changes its protocols so the same mistake does not kill someone else’s parent. Justice is making sure the trucking company that pushed its drivers past the legal limit gets held accountable. Justice is making sure your family does not lose the house because the bills kept coming even after the income stopped.
Justice is knowing that the person or company responsible had to answer for what they did.
It will not make the grief go away. But it will give you one less thing to carry.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who has the legal right to file a wrongful death claim in Colorado?
In Colorado, a wrongful death claim must be filed by the personal representative of the deceased person’s estate. This is usually someone named in the will or appointed by the court if no will exists. However, the claim is brought on behalf of specific family members known as statutory beneficiaries—the surviving spouse, children, or parents if there is no spouse or children. If none of these relatives exist, the claim can be filed on behalf of the next of kin who were financially dependent on the deceased. Even if you are grieving deeply, you may not have legal standing to file unless you fall into one of these categories, which is why consulting with a wrongful death lawyer is essential.
What is the time limit for filing a wrongful death lawsuit in Pueblo?
Colorado law gives you two years from the date of death to file a wrongful death lawsuit. This deadline is strict, and missing it means losing your right to pursue a claim no matter how strong your case is. Two years may sound like enough time, but grief does not follow a schedule, and building a solid case requires gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses, and consulting experts. Waiting too long can mean losing critical proof or simply running out of time. It is important to speak with a lawyer sooner rather than later so the legal process can move forward while you focus on your family.
What types of compensation are available in a wrongful death case?
Colorado wrongful death claims cover both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages include measurable financial losses such as medical bills from treatment before death, funeral and burial expenses, lost wages and benefits your loved one would have earned, loss of household services, and loss of inheritance. Non-economic damages address the human impact—loss of companionship, comfort, care, and guidance, as well as the emotional pain and suffering experienced by surviving family members. For a surviving spouse, this includes loss of consortium. While no amount of money can replace the person you lost, these damages are meant to provide financial stability so your family can grieve without facing financial ruin.
Does filing a wrongful death claim mean going to court?
Not necessarily. Many wrongful death cases are resolved through settlement negotiations with the at-fault party’s insurance company without ever going to trial. Your lawyer will investigate the facts, file a claim, and negotiate on your behalf. If the insurance company offers a fair settlement that reflects the true value of your losses, the case can be resolved outside of court. However, if the insurer refuses to take responsibility or makes an offer far below what your family deserves, your lawyer may file a lawsuit and take the case to trial. Most families prefer to settle, and most cases do—but the willingness to go to court if necessary is what often pushes insurance companies to make fair offers.
How is a wrongful death case different from a personal injury claim?
A personal injury claim is brought by the person who was injured and covers their own medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and loss of quality of life. A wrongful death claim is brought on behalf of the person who died and covers the losses suffered by their surviving family members—loss of financial support, companionship, guidance, and emotional devastation. In some situations, both claims may exist. If someone was injured and survived for a period before dying, the estate may bring a personal injury claim for the suffering before death and a wrongful death claim for the losses after. If the person died immediately, only a wrongful death claim applies. Colorado law treats these claims differently, and the types of damages available vary, which is why working with a lawyer who understands wrongful death law is critical.
Can I file a wrongful death claim if my loved one was partially at fault?
Yes, as long as your loved one was not more than 50 percent responsible for the accident. Colorado follows a modified comparative negligence rule, which means your damages will be reduced by the percentage of fault assigned to the deceased. For example, if your loved one was 30 percent at fault, your total damages would be reduced by 30 percent. If they were 51 percent or more at fault, you cannot recover anything under Colorado law. Insurance companies often try to shift blame to reduce what they owe, so it is important to have a lawyer who will investigate the facts, challenge unfair accusations, and make sure fault is assigned correctly.
Wrongful Death Lawyers Serving Pueblo Families Seeking Justice
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.
Statute of Limitations for Colorado Wrongful Death Claims
Colorado law imposes strict time limits for filing wrongful death lawsuits. Generally, eligible family members must file within two years from the date of death. However, certain circumstances may extend or shorten this period, such as cases involving government entities or criminal acts. Missing this deadline typically bars your right to compensation, making prompt legal consultation essential after losing a loved one through potentially wrongful circumstances.
Who can File a Wrongful Death Claim?
Colorado law specifically restricts who can bring wrongful death claims and establishes a filing hierarchy based on time:
- First year after death: Only a surviving spouse may file, with three exceptions: (1) the spouse may include the decedent’s children by filing an election; (2) if the deceased was unmarried, their children may file; (3) if unmarried with no children, the decedent’s parents may file.
- Second year after death: Both the spouse and designated beneficiaries may file claims. If the spouse filed during the first year, they may join any subsequent claim filed by heirs or beneficiaries.
This hierarchical system differs significantly from many other states and requires careful navigation with experienced legal counsel.
Types of Incidents Leading to Wrongful Death Claims
Wrongful death lawsuits in Pueblo arise from numerous scenarios where negligence or misconduct leads to fatal outcomes:
- Motor vehicle accidents (cars, motorcycles, trucks, pedestrians)
- Medical malpractice and medication errors
- Workplace accidents, including construction and industrial incidents
- Premises liability cases such as slips and falls
- Defective products and consumer goods
- Recreational and sporting accidents
- Criminal acts of violence
- Dog attacks and animal-related fatalities
- Pool and drowning accidents
To prevail in these cases, surviving family members must demonstrate that the death resulted from someone’s negligent, reckless, or intentional conduct through comprehensive evidence gathering and expert testimony.
Damages Available in Colorado Wrongful Death Cases
Colorado wrongful death plaintiffs may recover several types of damages, though state law does impose certain caps on non-economic damages:
- Economic Damages: These include financial losses such as lost income and earning capacity, medical expenses prior to death, funeral and burial costs, and loss of benefits and inheritance. These damages are typically not capped under Colorado law.
- Non-Economic Damages: Compensation for grief, loss of companionship, emotional suffering, and loss of consortium. Colorado currently caps non-economic damages in most wrongful death cases, with amounts periodically adjusted for inflation.
- Punitive Damages: Available in cases involving particularly egregious conduct, these damages are intended to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar behavior. These are limited to three times the amount of actual damages in Colorado.
The Wrongful Death Claim Process in Pueblo
The process of pursuing a wrongful death claim in Pueblo typically involves several stages:
- Investigation and Evidence Collection: Gathering police reports, medical records, witness statements, expert opinions, and other evidence to establish liability.
- Case Valuation: Working with economic experts, medical professionals, and actuaries to determine the full financial impact of the loss.
- Insurance Negotiations: Many wrongful death claims involve insurance companies representing the at-fault parties. Our attorneys handle all communications and negotiations with these insurers.
