Defining Wrongful Death in Colorado Wrongful death is essentially when an individual loses their life due to an act of misconduct done by another individual, company, or entity. Colorado laws regarding wrongful death can be complex and focus on subjects such as the priority of beneficiaries, procedures of filing a wrongful death claim, and time frames for filing. It is important to note that Colorado does follow the “modified comparative fault” rule, which means compensation may be deducted by the percentage of fault that the decedent had in the accident, if any. So for instance, if you are able to recover $100,000 in damages, but your loved one was 25 percent responsible for the accident, under comparative fault you would only be able to recover $75,000.
