Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim?
Colorado law has specific rules as to who can file a wrongful death claim. According to these laws the deceased’s surviving spouse is eligible to file a wrongful death claim in the first year of the deceased’s passing.
In the second years the deceased’s spouse and children and eligible to file a claim. If the deceased has no surviving spouse or children, the parents of the deceased are then able to file a claim.
