Losing a loved one due to someone else’s negligence is one of the most devastating experiences a family can endure. When a fatal accident or wrongful act occurs, families are left facing emotional trauma, financial hardship, and unanswered questions.
Nineveh Law represents families in California and Nevada who have lost someone due to the careless, reckless, or intentional actions of another. The firm is committed to holding responsible parties accountable and securing justice and financial recovery for surviving family members.
What Is a Wrongful Death Claim?
A wrongful death claim arises when a person dies as a result of another party’s negligent or intentional conduct. These claims are civil actions, separate from any criminal case, and allow surviving family members to seek compensation for the losses they have suffered.
Wrongful death claims can stem from many types of incidents, including:
- Car and truck accidents
- Motorcycle and bicycle collisions
- Pedestrian and rideshare accidents
- Drunk or impaired driving crashes
- Trucking and commercial vehicle accidents
- Slip and fall incidents
- Medical malpractice
- Defective products
- Workplace accidents
Nineveh Law evaluates each case to determine liability and pursue all available avenues for recovery.
Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim?
Each state has specific laws governing who may file a wrongful death claim:
- California: Statutes typically allow the deceased’s spouse, domestic partner, children, or, in some cases, dependents to bring a lawsuit.
- Nevada: Laws generally permit a spouse, children, or parents to pursue a claim, depending on the circumstances.
Because these rules vary, consulting with a wrongful death attorney soon after a loss helps ensure that the appropriate family members pursue the claim within legal deadlines.
What Compensation Is Available in a Wrongful Death Claim?
Surviving family members may be entitled to compensation for losses including:
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Medical and end-of-life care costs
- Loss of income and financial support
- Loss of companionship and consortium
- Pain and suffering experienced by the deceased
- Emotional distress
Nineveh Law works to identify and quantify all available damages to maximize recovery for families during this difficult time.
