We’re Here To Help

We understand that after losing a loved one, the last thing you want to worry about is legal matters. 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.

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.
A contemplative moment reflects resilience and the journey toward healing and support.

What To Do After

Take the steps below if a loved one has experienced a wrongful death:

Responders will secure the area, control the situation, and prepare an official report, ensuring proper documentation for any necessary follow-up.

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.

A prompt exam can uncover unseen injuries and create important documentation for your claim

Attend all follow-up appointments, complete recommended treatments, and participate in any necessary therapies.

If the incident occurred in public, notify nearby people, business owners, or file an incident report.

Do not wait to get the legal advice you need. We can start investigating the accident, preserving evidence, and protecting you from day one.

Record detailed notes about how the accident occurred and track symptoms, treatments, and recollections related to your recovery process.

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.
