What Is A Wrongful Death
Claim?
Wrongful death is a legal term for a case in which the
intentional, reckless, or negligent actions of one person
cause the death of another. A wrongful death claim is a
lawsuit filed in civil court, and usually must be filed
within two years from the date of the death. Wrongful
death claims are similar to personal injury claims,
except the family seeks compensation for the death
instead of the injured individual seeking compensation
for his or her injuries. To obtain compensation in a
wrongful death lawsuit, the estate or family members
must prove that another party’s negligence or
intentional harm caused their loved one’s death and
that this death caused monetary injury to surviving
family members or to the decedent’s estate.

The following are permitted to file a wrongful death
claim in Nevada:
A personal representative of the decedent’s
estate
The surviving spouse, partner, or children of the
decedent
The decedent’s parents if there is no surviving
spouse or child
Others who can show that
they were
dependents of the decedent at the time of his or
her death (for example, stepchildren)
Under Nevada law, you must file a wrongful
death claim within two years of the date the
fatal injury occurred. If you have not filed a
claim within those two years, your right to
bring the case to court is nullified and you are
not eligible for compensation for the wrongful
death of your loved one.

The Types of Damages Awarded Through Wrongful
Death Claims
Lost Wages & Loss Of Future
Income
Perhaps your loved one was the primary breadwinner in
the family, and you no longer have consistent income
covering your daily expenses, causing financial hardship.
Your loss of wages and calculated loss of future income
are factored in when your lawyer determines the
settlement amount you deserve for your loss.
Family Member’s Grief &
Sorrow
An unexpected death is a bitter experience, especially
when it was caused by someone else’s negligence like in
a DUI or medical malpractice case. The loved ones and
family members of the deceased often face heavy grief
and sorrow as they adjust to life without their loved
one’s care and protection.
Medical & Funeral Expenses
Funeral expenses can be hefty, especially when they
are unexpected and have no funds set aside to help
cover costs. If medical care was needed for the loved
one before their death, the family is still responsible
to pay the bill. You can receive compensation for
both the funeral expenses and medical bills.
Loss Of Companionship
The sudden loss of a loved one not only affects your
financial status, but causes a great feeling of loss of
companionship. This includes that person’s ability to
parent, to show love and affection, and the overall
benefits of having them in your life. You could be
compensated for the loss of companionship you face.
Loss Of Consortium
Similar to loss of companionship, loss of consortium
refers to the permanent ramifications the spouse of the
deceased will experience after the loss of their partner.
This includes the spouse’s loss of love, companionship,
comfort, services, support, and sexual relations that
were previously provided before the death. Loss of
consortium is considered during your settlement.
Pain & Suffering Of The
Decedent Prior To Death
In some wrongful death cases, the deceased experienced
great pain and suffering before their death. This could be
due to medical malpractice, injury from a terrible vehicle
accident, or a bicycle accident. No matter the reason,
you deserve to be compensated as you process the pain
and suffering faced by your loved one.
