Wrongful Death Pre-Settlement Funding in Colorado

Because of state regulations, funding can only be provided if the advance is over $75,000.

Losing a family member is painful, and the financial shock can add stress you did not expect. If your loved one’s case is moving slowly, Colorado wrongful death pre-settlement funding can help you bridge the gap while your attorney pursues full compensation.

Our team at Pegasus Legal Capital can explain how Colorado personal injury pre-settlement funding works, what it costs, how eligibility is assessed, and how we support you and your Colorado lawyer from application to resolution. As your trusted legal funding partner, we are here to help you recover money after you’ve lost a loved one.

How Colorado Wrongful Death Pre-Settlement Funding Works

Colorado pre-settlement funding is a non-recourse cash advance tied to the future proceeds of your wrongful death case. It is not a traditional loan. You receive money now to cover urgent needs, and repayment is made only from a settlement or judgment.

We review your case with your attorney’s cooperation. If approved, we send funds directly to you, often within a short timeframe. There are no monthly payments. If your case does not recover, you owe nothing to us.

Throughout the case, your attorney remains in control of legal strategy. Our role is limited to funding. We do not direct your case, and we do not interfere with attorney-client decisions.

What a Colorado Wrongful Death Claim Involves

A wrongful death claim in Colorado arises when someone’s negligent or wrongful conduct causes a death. The claim is brought by certain family members or a designated beneficiary, and it seeks compensation for financial losses and the human impact of the loss.

Colorado law sets out who may file and when. In the first year after death, the spouse has priority and may allow children or designated beneficiaries to join. In the second year, children or a designated beneficiary may also file. A separate survival action can be brought by the estate for certain damages incurred before death.

Damages in Colorado typically include economic losses, like lost wages and funeral costs, and non-economic losses. Colorado caps non-economic damages in wrongful death, and the state also offers a solatium option as an alternative to proving non-economic losses.

Who Qualifies and What We Review

We look at the strength of the underlying liability claim, estimated damages, available insurance or assets, and the expected timeline. We also consider Colorado-specific factors, such as damage caps, comparative negligence, and the status of the estate or beneficiaries.

A short application gets the process started. We will request permission to speak with your attorney and review case documents. Eligibility is case-based, not credit-based, so your credit score does not determine approval of Colorado wrongful death pre-settlement funding. Here is a simple checklist to help you prepare:

You have a pending Colorado wrongful death claim with an attorney.
The at-fault party is insured or has collectible assets.
Liability facts and damages are documented or developing well.
The statute of limitations has not run, and the claim is active.
Your attorney is willing to confirm case details and cooperate with funding.
You need funds for immediate household or case-related costs.

Costs, Rates, and Repayment in Colorado

The cost of wrongful death pre-settlement funding in Colorado depends on the specific details of your case. Factors such as the strength of the claim, the stage of the legal process, the expected time to resolution, and the overall risk involved all play a role in determining funding terms.

Pegasus Legal Capital believes in full transparency. Before you accept any funding, we clearly explain the advance amount, the applicable rates, and any fees associated with the funding. Every term is provided in writing, so you know exactly what to expect. There are no hidden charges, surprise increases, or unclear language.

There are no monthly payments or out-of-pocket costs while your wrongful death case is ongoing. Repayment only occurs if your case results in a financial recovery, such as a settlement or verdict. The repayment comes directly from the proceeds of the case, not from your personal finances.

Laws and Timelines That Influence Funding Decisions

Colorado’s statute of limitations for wrongful death is generally two years from the date of death, with limited exceptions. Early in a claim, the spouse’s rights may control who files, and in the second year, children or a designated beneficiary may also be able to file. These timing rules affect case posture and, in turn, funding decisions.

Colorado uses a modified comparative negligence standard. If the decedent is found 50% or more at fault, recovery may be barred. This risk factor matters when a funder evaluates the case, especially in disputed liability scenarios such as multi-vehicle crashes or hazardous property conditions.

What You Can Use a Wrongful Death Cash Advance For

A cash advance can soften the financial strain that often follows a loss. You can use funds for immediate needs or to stabilize your household so you can allow the legal process to move at a steady pace. Common uses include:

Rent or mortgage payments to stay current on housing
Utilities, groceries, and transportation
Funeral and memorial expenses
Medical bills connected to the fatal incident
Childcare or education-related costs
Bridge funds while income is reduced or pending insurance payments

We do not restrict how you use the Colorado wrongful death pre-settlement funding. You decide what helps your family most. Our team has provided over $500 million in pre-settlement funding since 2007.
