A wrongful death claim is a lawsuit filed against a negligent party responsible for causing a preventable death. These claims are legally similar to personal injury claims but are filed by the family members of the deceased. Proving negligence is the cornerstone of both personal injury and wrongful death claims.<\/p>

Each state has its own wrongful death statutes. In Nevada, wrongful death is defined as a death \u201ccaused by the wrongful act or neglect of another\u201d person or entity. This means that any death that occurred due to the legal fault of another party constitutes a wrongful death, including deaths caused by negligence or intentional acts, such as murder.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

There is a wide range of accidents and situations that can result in wrongful death. Here are some of the most common types of wrongful death cases seen by our lawyers.<\/p>

Accidentes automovil\u00edsticos<\/h3>

According to the\u00a0National Safety Council<\/a>\u00a0(NSC), motor vehicle accidents account for the second-most preventable deaths in the United States, at 21%. Since most motor vehicle accidents are caused by negligence, this means that car accidents are also one of the most common causes of wrongful death.\u00a0<\/p>

If you are\u00a0injured in a car accident<\/a>\u00a0and survive, you have grounds for a personal injury lawsuit if another driver\u2019s negligence caused the crash. In fatal car accidents caused by negligence, the families of the victims can file a wrongful death lawsuit against the negligent driver responsible for causing the crash.\u00a0<\/p>

Negligencia m\u00e9dica<\/h3>

When a patient passes away due to a negligent mistake by their doctor, that patient\u2019s family may have grounds for a wrongful death lawsuit based on medical malpractice. To file a lawsuit, there must be proof that your loved one\u2019s death was the direct result of medical negligence and not a natural progression of their illness or injuries.\u00a0<\/p>

Common forms of medical malpractice that can be fatal for patients and result in a wrongful death lawsuit include:<\/p>

Misdiagnosis and Delayed Diagnosis<\/h4>

De acuerdo a\u00a0Johns Hopkins Medicine<\/a>, approximately 100,000 Americans die or become permanently disabled due to misdiagnoses, delayed diagnoses, or failure to diagnose. Those who suffer permanent disabilities and the families of those who die from these preventable medical errors deserve justice. For many families, a medical malpractice lawsuit can help provide vital financial assistance for the difficulties they face.<\/p>

Prescription Drug Errors<\/h4>

Prescription drug errors include doctors prescribing the wrong medication or dosage, nurses administering the wrong medication, and pharmacists making errors when filling prescriptions. If a prescription error results in health problems or turns out to be fatal for the patient, the responsible party could be held liable in a medical malpractice lawsuit.<\/p>

Surgical Errors<\/h4>

Precision is paramount in surgery, as even the slightest error could cause lifelong complications or even death for the patient. Surgical errors are among some of the most common types of medical malpractice.\u00a0<\/p>

Some of the most common types of surgical errors that can lead to a medical malpractice or wrongful death claim include:<\/p>
