If you’ve been injured by the wrongdoing of someone else, you may be entitled to payment for your medical expenses, the pain you had to go through, and the time you missed from work.
Losing a loved one is one of the most difficult experiences anyone can endure. When that loss is caused by the negligence or intentional actions of another, the pain and anger can be overwhelming. In such cases, you may be entitled to seek justice through a wrongful death claim.
Wrongful death occurs when a person dies as a result of another party’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional wrongdoing. This can include:
In Nevada, only certain individuals are eligible to file a wrongful death claim. For instance, the surviving spouse or children of the deceased can bring a wrongful death claim. If there are no surviving spouse or children, then the parents of the deceased person can bring a wrongful death claim. A personal representative of the deceased’s estate and a person who proves to the court that they were dependent on the deceased may also bring a claim.
To succeed in a wrongful death claim based on a negligence theory, you must prove that the defendant was negligent. Negligence can be established by showing that the defendant owed a duty of care to your loved one, that they breached that duty, and that the breach caused your loved one’s death.
For example, if your loved one was killed in a car accident, you may be able to show that the defendant driver was negligent by proving that they were speeding, distracted, or under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the accident.
Wrongful death claims are intended to compensate surviving family members for the losses they have suffered as a result of their loved one’s death. Damages may include:
There may be other factors to consider when determining damages, such as the deceased’s age, health, and life expectancy, as well as inflation and the value of money over time.
