Under Nevada law, damages in personal injury cases are designed to be compensatory — in other words, equal to a victim’s specific losses. For this reason, construction accident victims involved in a personal injury claim may be able to recover financial compensation for the following: Medical expenses and bills; Costs for rehabilitative care; Loss of past and future income; Disfigurement and/or scarring; Mental distress; Long-term physical or mental impairments; Pain and suffering; and Wrongful death losses.
