Steps to Take After Losing a Loved One

01

Focus on Your Family

Allow yourself time to grieve and lean on support from family, friends, and counseling resources. There is no right timeline for processing your loss.

02

Preserve All Records

Keep copies of the death certificate, medical records, accident reports, employment records, and communications related to the incident that caused your loved one’s death.

03

Avoid Insurance Discussions

Do not speak with insurance adjusters or sign any documents without legal counsel. Early settlement offers rarely reflect the true value of a wrongful death claim.

04

Consult a Wrongful Death Attorney

Nevada wrongful death law has specific rules about who can file, applicable deadlines, and recoverable damages. Our Las Vegas attorneys handle these sensitive cases with care.

Wrongful Death Claims in Las Vegas

A wrongful death occurs when someone dies due to another party’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional conduct. In Las Vegas, wrongful death cases frequently arise from car and truck accidents on I-15 and US-95, pedestrian strikes on the Strip, DUI collisions, medical malpractice at area hospitals, workplace accidents in construction and hospitality, defective products, and criminal violence.

Nevada wrongful death law allows the personal representative of the deceased’s estate to file claims for the damages caused by the loss. Heirs, including spouses, children, and parents, may recover compensation for funeral expenses, lost financial support, loss of companionship, and grief. Our attorneys work with financial analysts, accident reconstruction experts, and medical professionals to document the full impact on your family.

Common Questions About Las Vegas Wrongful Death Claims

Who can file a wrongful death claim in Nevada?

Nevada law allows the personal representative of the estate to file a wrongful death claim. Heirs who may recover damages include the surviving spouse, children, and parents of the deceased.

How long do I have to file a wrongful death claim?

The statute of limitations for wrongful death in Nevada is generally two years from the date of death. Acting quickly ensures critical evidence is preserved and your rights are protected.

Can I file a civil claim if criminal charges are pending?

Yes. Civil and criminal proceedings are separate. You can pursue a wrongful death lawsuit regardless of whether criminal charges are filed or result in a conviction.

What is the difference between wrongful death and survival claims?

A wrongful death claim compensates surviving heirs for their losses. A survival action recovers damages the deceased suffered before death, such as pain, medical expenses, and lost earnings.

How is the value of a wrongful death case calculated?

We work with economists, actuaries, and vocational experts to calculate lost income, benefits, household services, and the value of the relationship between the deceased and surviving family members.

Can multiple family members receive compensation?

Yes. Multiple heirs can recover damages through a single wrongful death action. Each eligible family member’s losses are calculated and included in the overall claim.
