Summerlin Wrongful Death Lawyers Can Help Your Family
Following a loved one’s death, you and your family will have a lot of questions about the legal side of things. Thankfully, our attorneys can help you understand what your options are. For instance, working with an attorney can provide insight on inheritance loss, how your loved one’s medical bills will be covered, and more.
For example, your wrongful death lawsuit may result in receiving compensation for the unexpected financial burden that losing a family member’s income entails. If this is the case, we will calculate a fair amount of the deceased’s potential future earnings and include it in the amount that we demand from insurance companies.
Ultimately, financial compensation from a wrongful death claim can help alleviate the financial burden that comes along with the accident.
Types of Wrongful Death Claims Our Attorneys Handle
In Summerlin, wrongful deaths can occur during any of these types of accidents:
- Car accidents
- Slip and falls
- Rideshare and taxi accidents
- Dog bites/attacks
- Pedestrian accidents
- Medical malpractice injuries
- Motorcycle accidents
- Truck accidents
- Boat accidents
- Bus accidents
- Premises liability accidents
- Elder abuse injuries
- Defective product injuries
- Dangerous drug injuries and diagnoses
- Bike accidents
Every case we take on involves an investigation into the causation of your loved one’s passing. This means we may visit the nursing home where your family member suffered from elder abuse. Or, we may interview the doctor who performed a procedure we suspect led to life-threatening complications. We may also look into the manufacturer of any suspicious dangerous drugs the victim was taking.
We will do all of this with discretion, keeping your best interests at heart. In many cases, we are able to reach a settlement with the liable party’s insurance company outside of court. But, if this is not possible, we will take the case to trial. You won’t have to worry though, as our attorneys have extensive trial experience and are always trial ready.
What Can Cause Wrongful Deaths in Summerlin?
The cause of wrongful deaths in Summerlin, Nevada boil down to two things: negligence and recklessness. In other words, if another party owed your friend or family member a duty of care and failed to uphold this duty, they will be considered liable for the wrongful death.
Negligence is when the at-fault party failed to provide a safe environment that led to an accident of some kind and resulted in a wrongful death or personal injury.
Recklessness is when the at-fault party acted in a sudden and/or unexpected way that in turn led to the death of another party.
When we build your family’s wrongful death lawsuit, we will look into every possible cause. There may have been more than one party involved, and if this is true, we will negotiate with as many insurance companies as needed.
Some insurance companies are overly aggressive, and attempt to undervalue claims, even when someone has passed away. By working with an attorney, you won’t have to face these tough adjusters while you focus on supporting your family. We will safeguard you by taking on communications and courtroom battles.
How Much Time Do I Have to File a Wrongful Death Claim?
You only have two years from the date of your loved one’s death to file a claim for their wrongful death. This limit is placed by a law known as the Nevada statute of limitations.
However, you don’t have to wait two years to file. Financial compensation can really help a family dealing with the sudden monetary burden that accompanies losing someone they love. And so, filing sooner rather than later may help your family overall. For answers to all your questions, reach out to Lerner and Rowe.
