        In Nevada, the wrongful death statute permits family members and relatives to obtain compensation for their losses, including loss of society and companionship, loss of support, and economic loss. The estate of the deceased individual can also be compensated for his conscious pain and suffering.

Wrongful death cases result from a variety of negligence cases, including:

• Automobile accidents including fatal drunk driving accident and fatal car crash
• Motorcycle accidents
• Products liability, including motor vehicle defects causing death
• Hospital malpractice
• Work-related injuries
• Nursing home negligence
• Truck Accidents
• Construction accidents
• Swimming pool accidents
• Defective roadways
• Fires and electrical injuries
• Police chase/police misconduct
• Premises liability such as accidents caused by wet floors, broken stairs, and damaged pavement
• Recreational accidents, like boating accidents, bicycle accidents, and hunting accidents
