Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim in Nevada?
Pursuant to Nevada law, wrongful death claims have limitations as to who can pursue compensation in such matters as well as how long injured parties have to file their claims.
Family members entitled to recovery under a wrongful death claim include:
Partner or spouse of the deceased
Surviving children
If not spouse, partner or children, then the parents of the deceased
In addition to these immediate family members, others who were dependent upon the support of the deceased at the time of their death may be able to file a wrongful death claim as well. To better determine if you or other individuals are eligible to pursue this civil claim, speak with a seasoned personal injury attorney at Vegas Valley Injury Law right away.
Our legal team can advise you on what forms of compensation you might be entitled to receive, including:
Funeral and burial costs
Medical expenses
Loss of benefits
Lost wage expectations
Loss of companionship, care, and affection
In some instances, the negligence that caused your loved one's death is so egregious that it may qualify for punitive damages. A court may deem such an award appropriate when reckless or malicious actions were involved. Regardless of what you may or may not qualify to receive for your wrongful death claim, Nevada statutes make it clear that you only have two years to file your request. This time limit begins on the date of your loved one's death, so any concerns or questions you have should not be delayed.
Make an appointment with a Las Vegas wrongful death attorney at Vegas Valley Injury Law as soon as possible to ensure your right to compensation gets pursued to the fullest extent of the law.
