About the Book:
The purpose of this book is to furnish the reader with a comprehensive review of Colorado's wrongful death law. The text not only looks at the current state of the law, but examines its historical development as well. Where appropriate, the book provides critical analysis of major court decisions and identifies questions that remain unanswered. To put legal issues in the proper context, the text contains factual summaries of important cases. Study of this book should equip the practitioner to address most legal issues likely to arise in the handling of a wrongful death case in Colorado.
This Third Edition of the Handbook of Colorado Wrongful Death Law includes an extensive discussion of cases as well as the interplay of case law and statutes. Readers will find new analysis of when a prior settlement of a wrongful death claim by the decedent's surviving spouse precludes a subsequent wrongful death action by the decedent's child under the “one action” rule; what is a reasonable delay for purposes of relation back under C.R.C.P. 15(c); liability of corporate defendants for exemplary damages; the duty of a county jail to take reasonable care to prevent an inmate from committing suicide; governmental immunity for a sheriff's deputy involved in the fatal shooting of a motorist; the “but for” test for causation-in-fact; who is a landowner under the PLA; whether a mass shooting in a theatre was unforeseeable as a matter of law; wrongful death claims under the Ski Safety Act; and whether a requirement exists for each plaintiff to prove personal damages where multiple parties bring a wrongful death action as plaintiffs.
