Nevada Wrongful Death Attorney Las Vegas
When a car accident, truck crash, medical malpractice, or other act of negligence takes the life of a loved one in Nevada, the surviving family members have the right to pursue a wrongful death claim for their losses. Nevada’s wrongful death statute, NRS 41.085, allows specified family members — surviving spouse, children, parents, and in some cases siblings — to recover damages for the grief, sorrow, and loss of companionship they suffer, as well as the financial losses caused by the death. Marathon Law Group’s Las Vegas wrongful death attorneys represent grieving families throughout Clark County in the pursuit of justice and compensation.

Who Can File a Nevada Wrongful Death Claim
Under NRS 41.085, a wrongful death action may be brought by the decedent’s heirs or personal representative. Heirs include surviving spouse, children, stepchildren, parents, and other lineal descendants. The personal representative of the estate may also bring claims for the decedent’s own pre-death pain and suffering, medical expenses, and lost earnings. Nevada law does not place a cap on wrongful death damages in most cases. Marathon Law Group advises families on who is entitled to bring claims and how to coordinate estate and wrongful death proceedings efficiently.
Damages Available in Nevada Wrongful Death Cases
Nevada wrongful death damages include grief and sorrow, loss of companionship and consortium, loss of the decedent’s probable future earnings (present-valued over the expected working lifespan), loss of household services the decedent provided, funeral and burial expenses, and the decedent’s own pain and suffering before death. Marathon Law Group retains forensic economists to quantify lifetime earnings loss and life care experts where appropriate, building comprehensive damages cases that present the full value of what the family has lost.
