Wrongful Death FAQs

Is a wrongful death case the same as a criminal case?
No. Wrongful death cases are civil claims for compensation, even if criminal charges are filed separately.

​

What if the deceased was partially at fault?
Nevada’s comparative negligence law may still allow recovery if the deceased was 50% or less at fault.

​

How long do wrongful death cases take?
Some resolve through settlement, while others require litigation. Timelines depend on complexity and insurance disputes.

​

What if there was no will or estate plan?
A wrongful death claim can still proceed through eligible family members or an appointed estate representative.

​

Do wrongful death cases go to trial?
Many settle, but Banda Law Group prepares every case as if it will go to trial to maximize leverage.
