Wrongful death occurs when a person’s death is caused by the negligent, reckless, or intentional actions of another individual, company, or entity. In Nevada, the deceased person’s surviving spouse, children, or parents may file a wrongful death claim to seek compensation for their losses and hold the responsible parties accountable.

In a wrongful death claim, eligible family members may seek compensation for various damages, including medical expenses incurred before the death, funeral and burial costs, loss of the deceased person’s financial support and services, loss of companionship, and emotional pain and suffering resulting from the loss.

In Nevada, the statute of limitations for filing a wrongful death claim is generally two years from the date of the deceased person’s death. It is crucial to take prompt action and seek legal advice as soon as possible to ensure the preservation of evidence and protect your right to pursue a claim.

An experienced wrongful death attorney can provide invaluable support during this challenging time. They will investigate the circumstances of the death, gather crucial evidence, assess the value of your claim, and negotiate with insurance companies and other parties on your behalf. Additionally, an attorney can guide you through the complex legal process, handle paperwork and legal formalities, and ensure your rights are protected throughout the case.
