Fatal Aviation Accidents in Colorado

Boulder, CO – Paraglider Killed in Crash near 119th St and Arapahoe RdEvery year, numerous people are involved in aviation accidents across the country. We see our fair share of these accidents here in Colorado. These accidents often force people into area hospitals for emergency medical attention. Although there are many treatment options available for victims, there is never a guarantee that victims will completely recover. In fact, many victims are forced to deal with permanent disabilities and pain and suffering. Although we hope that all victims involved in accidents are able to recover from their injuries, this is far from the truth.

Aviation accidents claim the lives of thousands of people across the United States each year. These accidents are often preventable, yet we continue to witness the overwhelming consequences they have on families throughout the state. Not only are families overcome by emotional pain and suffering, but they are often forced to spend thousands of dollars on funeral arrangements and other costs. When victims lose their lives in accidents, due to the negligence of others, their families should seek legal guidance from a competent wrongful death attorney in Colorado as soon as possible.
