Las Vegas girl, 17, dies after rollover in Pahrump

A 17-year-old Las Vegas girl died in a rollover crash that happened late Thursday night in Pahrump, according to Nevada Highway Patrol. The overturn caused the passenger, Rhea Janolino, 17, of Las Vegas, to be thrown from the vehicle. The driver of the rolled vehicle was rushed to Pahrump Valley Medical Center in critical condition, NHP said. The highway enforcement agency said two teens were traveling in a Mazda Tribute that was going southbound on the highway. NHP reported the incident at 11:36 p.m. on State Route 160 north of Gamebird Road.
Why every fatality from a crash is not legally a wrongful death

After someone dies in a motor-vehicle accident, grieving family members and friends are often left with many questions. What caused the accident? Could it have been avoided? What do they do now that their loved one is gone?

Sometimes a fatal collision happens through no one's fault. Crashes caused by weather and road conditions, or by wildlife in the roadway, are examples. But when a fatal crash is caused by negligence, then family members should pursue a wrongful death claim, to uphold the victim's rights and begin the financial recovery process.
