02What Nevada law actually says

A few things worth knowing, when you're ready.

There is a deadline, but there is time to grieve first.

In Nevada, a wrongful death claim generally must be filed within two years of the date of death. There is no need to decide anything today — this is only so you know the window exists.

Shared fault doesn't erase the claim.

Nevada follows comparative negligence. Even if the circumstances are complicated, that doesn't mean there's no claim to bring.

What a claim can cover.

Funeral and burial expenses, lost financial support, and other losses tied to your family member's death can all be part of a claim.
