A victim does not always die at the immediate scene of a catastrophic accident. They may survive for hours, days, or even several weeks after the crash. Under Nevada law (NRS 41.100), their family members have a right to pursue a survival action claim to take the place of their personal injury claim to recover damages sustained between the catastrophic accident and the date of death. Your family does not have to choose between filing a wrongful death lawsuit and a survival action claim. In many cases, both of these claims are pursued at the same time. At Ladah Law Firm, our Las Vegas, NV wrongful death attorneys have the skills and experience to handle survival action cases.
