The loss of a loved one is never easy, especially when it happens due to the negligent or reckless behavior of another. According to Nevada state law, a wrongful death occurs “when the intentional, reckless, or negligent conduct of one party causes the death of another person.” The most common claims of wrongful death in Nevada are related to car accidents, pedestrian accidents, and medical malpractice.
If you are considering a wrongful death suit, time is of the essence. Nevada has a two-year statute of limitations on these kinds of cases, even when criminal charges are involved. There are a variety of damages that can be recovered in a wrongful death suit, including loss of support, loss of companionship, monetary compensation for grief, and pain and suffering.
Thousands of wrongful death suits are filed in Nevada every year, and the suit can help your family during this difficult time.
