Trusted Wrongful Death Attorneys Serving Las Vegas
Losing a loved one is a devastating experience for any family, and when that loss could have been prevented, the grief is often accompanied by financial hardship and difficult questions. Funeral expenses, lost income, and the sudden uncertainty of what comes next can add pressure to an already painful time. When another person, business, or entity in Las Vegas is responsible for that death, Nevada law gives surviving family members the right to pursue a wrongful death claim.
At Maier Gutierrez Wrongful Death Lawyers, our wrongful death attorneys know that legal action cannot change what happened or bring your loved one back. It can, however, hold the responsible party accountable and help relieve the financial burden your family now faces. Based in Las Vegas, we represent families throughout the city and across Clark County in wrongful death claims arising from car and motorcycle accidents, pedestrian and rideshare incidents on the Strip and beyond, casino and hotel property negligence, medical malpractice, construction and workplace accidents, and defective products.

Las Vegas Wrongful Death Attorneys Fighting for Families
Losing someone you love is one of life’s most painful experiences, and it becomes even harder when that loss could have been prevented. Whether it happened on the Strip, at a local business, or on a Las Vegas roadway, the emotional toll is often compounded by financial uncertainty and unanswered questions about what really happened.
Wrongful death claims in Las Vegas can arise from many different circumstances, including car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, pedestrian and rideshare incidents, medical malpractice, construction and workplace accidents, and defective products. Our attorneys investigate each case thoroughly, gathering accident reports, medical records, surveillance footage, witness statements, and other evidence to determine what happened and who may be held responsible. We also handle communication with insurance companies on your behalf, so your family isn’t navigating that process alone during an already difficult time.
Under Nevada law, a wrongful death claim may be brought by the deceased’s surviving spouse, domestic partner, children, or personal representative on behalf of the estate. If you’re unsure whether you have the right to file, our Las Vegas attorneys can review your family’s situation and explain your legal options at no cost. We work on a contingency-fee basis, which means you owe nothing unless we recover compensation for your family.

Frequently Asked Questions
Under Nevada law, families generally have two years from the date of death to file a wrongful death lawsuit. This deadline, known as the statute of limitations, can vary depending on the circumstances of the case — for example, claims involving a government entity, such as a crash involving a Las Vegas municipal vehicle, may have shorter notice requirements. Missing this deadline can permanently bar your family from recovering compensation, no matter how strong the case may be. Because evidence like surveillance footage, witness statements, and accident reports can disappear or become harder to obtain over time, it's important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible after your loved one's death. Our Las Vegas team can evaluate your situation, identify the applicable deadline, and begin investigating your case right away.
Responsibility for a wrongful death depends on the circumstances surrounding it. In Las Vegas, this may include negligent drivers, rideshare companies, hotels and casinos that fail to maintain safe premises, employers in construction or hospitality settings, medical providers, or manufacturers of defective products. In some cases, more than one party may share liability, such as a bar or club that over-served an intoxicated driver later involved in a fatal crash. Identifying every responsible party is critical to recovering the full compensation your family deserves. Our attorneys thoroughly investigate the facts of each case, review applicable Nevada laws, and pursue claims against all parties whose negligence contributed to your loved one's death.
Our firm represents wrongful death clients on a contingency-fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront to hire us. We only collect a fee if we successfully recover compensation for your family through a settlement or verdict. This allows grieving families to pursue justice without adding financial stress during an already difficult time. During your free consultation, we'll review the details of your case, explain how our fee structure works, and answer any questions you have about the legal process. There is no obligation to move forward, and you'll never be charged for the initial evaluation of your claim.
Not necessarily. Many wrongful death claims in Las Vegas are resolved through negotiation or settlement with the responsible party's insurance company, without the need for a trial. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, our attorneys are fully prepared to take your case to court and advocate for your family before a judge and jury. Every case is different, and the right approach depends on factors like the strength of the evidence, the responsible party's willingness to negotiate, and your family's goals. We keep you informed at every stage and provide honest guidance on whether settling or proceeding to trial is likely to serve your family's best interests.
