Losing a loved one at any time for any reason can be devastating. However, when your loved one dies as the result of a wrongful act by another person or entity, the pain and injustice may be amplified for you and your family. If this has happened to your family, you may have grounds to file a wrongful death lawsuit. Our Reno wrongful death attorneys at Valiente Mott help the families of wrongful death victims to fight for justice and maximum financial compensation. Call us today to schedule a free consultation.
Common Wrongful Death Cases
Wrongful death claims can arise from a number of different types of fatal accidents. Some of the more common types of wrongful death cases include the following:
- Car, truck, bus, taxi, and motorcycle crashes. Perhaps a drunk driver ran a red light, causing a fatal accident.
- Bicycle and pedestrian accidents, such as when a driver who was texting while driving accidentally loses control and crashes into a bicyclist or pedestrian.
- Medical malpractice, which may include a case where a doctor negligently prescribes a medication that can be fatal for a particular patient given his or her preexisting medical conditions.
- Premises liability accidents, such as a trip and fall accident due to crumbling steps of an apartment building staircase.
- Product liability, such as brake failure that causes a fatal motor vehicle collision.
- Workplace accidents, which may be caused by a machine that was improperly maintained.
- Construction accidents, such as collapsing scaffolds that were not safely stabilized and secured.
Filing a Wrongful Death Claim
If you are an immediate family member of the victim, or the victim’s surviving spouse, you may be eligible to file a wrongful death claim. If you do not fall into either of these categories, a qualified attorney will be able to tell you whether or not you are eligible to file in your particular case.
In order to file a wrongful death claim, the first step to take is to schedule a consultation with an experienced Nevada wrongful death lawyer. In this meeting, you will learn about your legal rights, any looming legal deadlines, the strengths and weaknesses of this claim, an approximate financial value of the claim, and what that attorney plans to do to help investigate and build your case should you decide to hire him or her.
Wrongful death defendants are often represented by insurance companies, which are notorious for presenting settlement offers soon after the accident that are far below the actual value of your claim. By consulting with a Nevada personal injury attorney, you will be better positioned to know whether or not any settlement offer is fair and reasonable. Most wrongful death cases settle out of court before trial during the discovery process, but some cases do go all the way to trial.
