No. Unfortunately, not all close loved ones of the victim of a fatal car accident have rights under Nevada’s wrongful death statute. In general, a wrongful death claim should be filed by the personal representative of the estate, on behalf of the immediate surviving family members. A spouse, child, parent, or other dependent may have rights under Nevada’s wrongful death statute. If you have any questions about who should file a claim after a fatal car accident, please do not hesitate to contact a Las Vegas wrongful death lawyer for guidance and support.
