Nevada Wrongful Death Law

Nevada’s wrongful death statute (NRS 41.085) lets heirs and the estate sue when a death is caused by negligence or a wrongful act. Think of it as the injury claim the person could have brought—now carried by their family and estate.

Who can file: Heirs (spouse, children, sometimes parents) and the personal representative of the estate.
Time limit: Typically two years from the date of death (NRS 11.190(4)(e)). Miss it and the claim is gone.
Comparative fault: If your loved one was under 50% at fault, the claim still stands, but damages drop by that percentage.

Damages You Can Seek

Heirs and the estate recover different losses. We sort and present them so nothing gets left on the table.

For heirs: Loss of support, companionship, guidance, grief, and sorrow
For the estate: Medical bills, funeral and burial costs, lost wages between injury and death, property damage, and sometimes punitive damages

Don’t:

Speak to insurers or risk managers without counsel

Throw away clothing, devices, or documents tied to the incident
