The Benson & Bingham Difference
- More than $600 million recovered for Nevada clients over 25 years, including wrongful death families who faced well-funded defendants and insurance carriers determined to pay as little as possible.
- Recognized statewide by Martindale-Hubbell AV Preeminent, Super Lawyers, the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, and the National Association of Distinguished Counsel Nation’s Top 1%.
- Direct attorney relationships throughout the entire case. Wrongful death matters are not handled by case managers at this firm. Your attorney knows your family’s story and is accessible when you need them.
- A demonstrated willingness to take cases to trial when insurers do not offer fair compensation. That posture produces better outcomes at every stage of the process.
- No fee unless we recover for your family. Our contingency fee structure removes every financial barrier to quality representation during the hardest time of your life.
Nevada’s Wrongful Death Laws
Nevada’s wrongful death statute, outlined at NRS 41.085, is the foundation of every wrongful death claim our Winchester attorneys handle. The law provides that when a person’s death is caused by the wrongful act or neglect of another, the heirs of the deceased may pursue separate legal actions against the responsible party.
Under Nevada law, heirs are those who would inherit the deceased’s separate property under the state’s intestate succession statutes. In most cases, that includes a surviving spouse or domestic partner, children, and, in their absence, parents and siblings.
Nevada’s survival action statute at NRS 41.100 further allows certain claims that the deceased could have pursued while alive to survive and be maintained by the estate, providing another avenue of recovery that our attorneys evaluate in every case.
How an Experienced Winchester Wrongful Death Lawyer Can Help You
Nevada wrongful death claims are often complex. There may be multiple defendants, multiple claims, and aggressive insurance companies working to deny, devalue, and delay your claim. Wrongful death claims are also often emotionally challenging for loved ones.
An experienced Winchester wrongful death lawyer can guide you through the legal process, protect your rights, and help you secure the compensation your family is entitled to as quickly as possible.
Your chances of a successful outcome are much higher if an experienced wrongful death lawyer represents you.
