Colorado Wrongful Death: A Northern Virginia Family’s Guide
A Northern Virginia family's guide to wrongful death claims in Colorado. I walk readers through the Colorado Wrongful Death Act at C.R.S. Section 13-21-201, the noneconomic damages cap at approximately $642,180 (2024) adjusted annually with doubling for felonious killing, the optional solatium election at C.R.S. Section 13-21-203.5, the survival action at C.R.S. Section 13-20-101, the 2-year statute of limitations, modified comparative fault at the 50-percent bar, the Colorado Governmental Immunity Act 182-day notice, and how NoVA-to-Colorado travel patterns generate cross-jurisdictional cases.
