Nevada Wrongful Death & Survival Claims

Fatal-crash claims involve wrongful-death, survival, probate, damages and insurance issues. The proper representative, statutory heirs, liable parties and available coverage should be identified early.

  • Identify statutory heirs and the personal representative.
  • Preserve crash evidence and every potentially applicable insurance policy.
  • Separate wrongful-death damages from estate or survival claims as Nevada law requires.
  • Coordinate probate, lien, reimbursement and settlement issues.
