My spouse died in a Denver motorcycle accident. What are my legal options?

If your spouse was killed in a motorcycle crash caused by the carelessness or negligence of another motorist, you may be entitled to file a wrongful death lawsuit. Through a wrongful death lawsuit, you can seek monetary compensation for your losses as a spouse, such as the loss of support your loved one contributed to the household, loss of companionship and affection, and in special cases punitive damages. You may also be able to recover the costs of your loved one’s medical bills and funeral expenses by pursuing a survival claim on behalf of your spouse’s estate.

A wrongful death lawyer at The Sawaya Law Firm can review the specific details of your loved one’s fatal motorcycle accident and discuss your legal options. Colorado law allows two years from the date of your loved one’s death to file a wrongful death lawsuit. It is important to speak with a lawyer as soon as possible.
