The unexpected death of a family member is an extremely difficult event. If your loved one died due to the negligence or carelessness of another person, filing a wrongful death lawsuit can help you and your family seek justice. To successfully prove a civil claim in Nevada, you must prove certain facts, which are called elements. There are four elements to a Las Vegas wrongful death lawsuit.
A person died.
The person’s death occurred due to the wrongful act of another party.
The plaintiff filing the claim is a personal representative of the deceased person.
The plaintiff suffered damages due to the deceased person’s passing.
There are several pieces of evidence that you could use to prove a wrongful death claim, including medical records, surveillance footage, police reports, and photographs and videos. Witness testimonies and evaluations from expert witnesses, like medical professionals, could also support your case.
