Nevada Wrongful Death Attorney Las Vegas
When a fatal accident in Nevada results from another party’s negligence — a car crash caused by a distracted driver, a workplace accident due to safety violations, a medical error, or a defective product failure — the deceased’s surviving family members have the right to pursue a wrongful death claim under Nevada Revised Statute 41.085. Nevada wrongful death law allows the personal representative of the deceased’s estate to pursue compensation on behalf of surviving heirs including a spouse, children, and other dependents who suffered economic and non-economic loss from the death. Marathon Law Group’s Las Vegas wrongful death attorneys guide surviving families through this difficult process with compassion and tenacious advocacy.
Nevada Wrongful Death Damages — Economic and Non-Economic Recovery
Nevada wrongful death damages include the deceased’s lost future earning capacity (the income the family would have received over the deceased’s projected working years), loss of financial support, loss of companionship and consortium for a surviving spouse, loss of parental guidance and support for minor children, the grief and anguish of surviving family members, and the deceased’s own pain and suffering between injury and death. Medical expenses incurred between the injury and death are recoverable by the estate. Funeral and burial costs are also compensable. Quantifying wrongful death damages accurately requires forensic economic experts who project lifetime lost earnings using actuarial tables and vocational analysis, adjusted to present value.
Nevada Wrongful Death Statute of Limitations
Wrongful death claims in Nevada must be filed within two years of the date of death. Claims against government entities require a notice of claim filed within one year. Missing these deadlines permanently bars recovery regardless of case strength. Marathon Law Group evaluates all applicable statutes of limitations immediately when families contact us — protecting the right to recover before deadlines expire.
