What is a Nevada Wrongful Death Claim
When someone dies due to the negligence, recklessness, or intentional acts of another party, Nevada law entitles the deceased person’s heirs to seek compensation for damages they suffer. A wrongful death claim arises when the deceased person’s heirs file a civil claim to recover damages.
A civil wrongful death claim is entirely separate and distinct from any criminal charges that may or may not be filed against the defendant.
How a Whitney Wrongful Death Attorney Can Help
Wrongful death claims are often complex. Insurance companies and defense attorneys frequently attempt to shift blame to the deceased or other parties to avoid liability. They will try to deny, delay, and devalue your claim, hoping to settle it for as little as possible.
An experienced wrongful death attorney can investigate the details of your loved one’s death to identify all contributing factors and potentially liable parties, maximizing the available sources of compensation.
Your attorney can help hold insurance companies and at-fault parties accountable for paying the full value of your compensable damages by preserving and gathering strong evidence to build your claim and accurately valuing all current and future losses.
Your attorney can work to negotiate a fair settlement as efficiently as possible. And if a fair settlement cannot be reached, your attorney can take your case to trial to demand the justice and compensation your family is entitled to.
