AB489

Nevada AB489 revises civil action provisions, including statute of limitations and damages recoverable for wrongful death and other injuries.

Nevada AB489 amends civil action statutes to clarify the definition of "heir" and the damages recoverable by personal representatives of a decedent. It specifies that heirs can maintain an action for damages if the death was caused by the wrongful act or neglect of another. The bill also outlines the statute of limitations for various civil actions, including actions for injuries, fraud, and wrongful death. It sets forth the types of damages recoverable, such as special damages and penalties, but excludes damages for pain, suffering, or disfigurement.
