What Is the Nevada Statute of Limitations for Personal Injury Cases?

When it comes to filing a personal injury lawsuit, it's important to pay attention to the statute of limitations for the state you're filing in. A statute of limitations is the time limit that a state puts on how long after your accident you are allowed to file a personal injury lawsuit. Statutes vary from state to state.

Nev. Rev. Stat. § 11.190(4)(e) (2016) states that individuals wishing to file a personal injury lawsuit must do so within 2 years of the date of their accident. However, there are certain exceptions that can be made depending on your circumstances. For example, if you have been injured as a result of medical malpractice, you have up to 3 years to file your lawsuit after the date of your injury (Nevada Revised Statutes section 41A.097).

Statute of limitations can be complex, and if you fail to file your lawsuit within the allotted amount of time your case will most likely be dismissed. Don't put your compensation on the line!

Catastrophic Injuries Require Just Compensation

The aftermath of a serious accident can have sizable consequences. The Las Vegas personal injury attorney at the Law Offices of Steven M. Burris can aggressively pursue your right for reimbursement for your damages and losses. Whether you have been the victim of a car accident, hospital malpractice, or environmental toxins, he can be the zealous advocate required to hold responsible parties liable for your pain and suffering.

How does liability work in Nevada personal injury claims?

For catastrophic injuries, holding the correct parties responsible is a complex process. The liability may be shared among more than one individual and / or with a business or corporation. To hold individuals accountable for an injury, negligence or a substandard of care must be proven. Complicating matters further, Nevada courts operate under a "modified comparative negligence rule" when determining liability.

If you are found partially at fault for your injury, the amount of compensation you are entitled to receive may be reduced or completely eliminated. Defendants in a personal injury lawsuit will often employ this statute in an effort to lessen their financial responsibilities.

Insightful Assessment of Your Personal Injury Claim

Personal injury claims are often complex, involving multiple parties and complicated legalities. The firm can assess your claim, identify available options and construct an effective legal strategy. Most personal injury cases have strict timetables for maximum compensation. If you are a serious accident victim in Nevada, including the cities of North Las Vegas, Henderson, Pahrump, and Boulder City, don't delay!
