Las Vegas Wrongful Death Claims
Recovery Is Allowed For Financial & Emotional Losses
Under Nevada's Wrongful Death Statute, the deceased's heirs could have a right to receive compensation in the form of money damages for their loss of companionship, loss of society, loss of probable support - grief - or sorrow, loss of comfort, loss of consortium, as well as damages for pain, suffering or disfigurement of the decedent. In addition, the damages recoverable by the personal representatives of a decedent's estate can include special damages (such as the deceased's medical expenses), which were sustained or incurred before death, as well as funeral expenses, and exemplary or punitive damages, that the wrongful death victim would have recovered if he or she had lived, but do not include damages for pain, suffering or disfigurement of the decedent. These are the types of damages which a Las Vegas Lawyer may be able to negotiate for you in the settlement or litigation of your wrongful death case. These damages may not be the same in many other states, so you should talk to a local personal injury attorney if you live in another state.
