It’s hard to figure out the number of wrongful deaths in our state simply because there are multiple causes of wrongful death. But some statistics are telling. For example, 622 people lost their lives in Colorado in recent years in traffic accidents, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. While not all of them stemmed from negligence, a substantial proportion likely did. Falls, a common injury in certain workplaces and the type of accident known as slip and falls, are the second-highest cause of unintentional injury-related death nationwide, according to the National Safety Council. Finally, Colorado recently reported 363 murder cases.
