Wrongful Death / Workers' Compensation

Recovered for the family of a man killed at work. Colorado workers’ compensation benefits were denied for the wife and son. The firm won the workers’ compensation case for the clients in Denver, and prevailed again at the Court of Appeals. The present value of the family’s workers’ compensation benefits were approximately $850,000. A state district court law suit was also filed and after extensive litigation, including multiple motions to dismiss, the firm recovered an additional $1.25 million for the wife. We were able to establish the company that assisted in loading the equipment was responsible for failing to provide adequate safety training for its employees and contractors, resulting in the death of the worker.
