You're focused on grieving, not fighting with insurance companies or handling paperwork. But insurance companies don't always play fair, and you shouldn't have to face them alone. We'll take care of every part of your wrongful death case so you can focus on grieving. Call us anytime to talk about your options. The sooner you reach out, the sooner we can start helping. [get a free consultation](#spu-3576) ## Filing A Wrongful Death Claim A wrongful death occurs when someone's negligent, reckless, or intentional actions lead to another person's death. In Nevada, you typically have two years from the date of death to file a claim. Missing this deadline could mean losing your right to compensation. Those eligible to file include the deceased's estate representative, immediate family members (such as a spouse, children, or parents), and anyone who relied on the deceased for financial support. A Nevada wrongful death attorney can handle communications with insurance companies, explain your rights, gather evidence, build a strong case, negotiate for a full settlement, and take the case to court if necessary. ![A weathered cap rests on a table, symbolizing resilience in challenging times.](https://samandashlaw.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/AdobeStock_968814262-1024x683.jpeg) ![A contemplative moment reflects resilience and the journey toward healing and support.](https://samandashlaw.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/woman-emotional-distress-1024x683.jpg) ## What To Do After Take the steps below if a loved one has experienced a wrongful death: ### Call 911 Responders will secure the area, control the situation, and prepare an official report, ensuring proper documentation for any necessary follow-up. ### Save All Evidence Take photo and video of the scene. Store reports, important items, and any records securely so nothing useful to your case is lost or misplaced. ### Seek Medical Attention A prompt exam can uncover unseen injuries and create important documentation for your claim ### Follow Your Doctor's Instructions Attend all follow-up appointments, complete recommended treatments, and participate in any necessary therapies. ### Report the Accident If the incident occurred in public, notify nearby people, business owners, or file an incident report. ### Contact a Lawyer Do not wait to get the legal advice you need. We can start investigating the accident, preserving evidence, and protecting you from day one. ### Journal Record detailed notes about how the accident occurred and track symptoms, treatments, and recollections related to your recovery process. ### Limit Social Media Refrain from posting about your incident-anything posted online could impact your claim. ## What Damages Can I Recover In A Wrongful Death Action? When you partner with Sam & Ash Injury Law, we will review your case and explain what compensation may be available. In some cases, punitive damages may also apply if the death was caused by especially reckless or harmful behavior. Possible compensation includes: The cost of medical care that the deceased needed Income that is lost because of someone's passing The loss of support and companionship Final expenses for the deceased Loss of benefits suffered by wrongful death beneficiaries in Nevada ![A professional handshake signifies trust and commitment in a legal consultation setting.](https://samandashlaw.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/AdobeStock_500952555-3-1024x683.jpeg) ## Common Causes Of Wrongful Death [Car Accidents](https://samandashlaw.com/practice-areas/nevada/car-accidents/) [Truck Accidents](https://samandashlaw.com/practice-areas/nevada/truck-accident/) [Uber/Lyft Accidents](https://samandashlaw.com/practice-areas/nevada/uber-lyft-accident/) [Taxi Accidents](https://samandashlaw.com/practice-areas/nevada/car-accidents/) [Bicycle Accidents](https://samandashlaw.com/practice-areas/nevada/bicycle-accident/) [Motorcycle Accidents](https://samandashlaw.com/practice-areas/nevada/motorcycle-accidents/) [Pedestrian Accidents](https://samandashlaw.com/practice-areas/nevada/pedestrian-accident/) [Boating Accidents](https://samandashlaw.com/practice-areas/nevada/boating-accident/) [Unsafe Properties & Buildings](https://samandashlaw.com/practice-areas/nevada/premises-liability/) [Negligent Security](https://samandashlaw.com/practice-areas/nevada/premises-liability/) [Swimming Pool Accidents](https://samandashlaw.com/practice-areas/nevada/premises-liability/) [Slip & Fall Accidents](https://samandashlaw.com/practice-areas/nevada/slip-fall/) [Dog Bites](https://samandashlaw.com/practice-areas/nevada/dog-bite/) [Elder Abuse & Neglect](https://samandashlaw.com/practice-areas/nevada/elder-abuse-and-neglect/) [Dangerous Products](https://samandashlaw.com/practice-areas/nevada/product-liability/) ## You May Be Entitled To Maximum Compensation Take this 60-second quiz to get started: "*" indicates required fields ## Insights & Resources ![A model car rests on an accident report, symbolizing diligence and advocacy for clients.](https://samandashlaw.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/car-accident-claim-740x416.jpg) Blog Jun 17th, 2026 ## What Evidence to Gather After an Accident: A Checklist That Protects Your Claim [Read More](https://samandashlaw.com/resources/what-evidence-to-gather-after-an-accident-a-checklist-that-protects-your-claim/) ![A concerned woman reflects the emotional toll of her injuries, highlighting the need for compassionate advocacy.](https://samandashlaw.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/AdobeStock_371372504-740x416.jpeg) Blog Jun 15th, 2026 ## 10 Red Flags You Shouldn't Ignore When Hiring a Personal Injury Lawyer [Read More](https://samandashlaw.com/resources/10-red-flags-you-shouldnt-ignore-in-a-personal-injury-law-firm/) ![A line of parked cars symbolizes safety and preparedness, reflecting a commitment to advocacy.](https://samandashlaw.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/cars-740x416.jpg) Blog Jun 15th, 2026 ## Weekly Automobile & Motorcycle Safety Recalls | Jun 15, 2026 [Read More](https://samandashlaw.com/resources/weekly-automobile-motorcycle-safety-recalls-jun-15-2026/) [View More](https://samandashlaw.com/resources/?fc=blog)
