Understanding Personal Injury Law in Nevada

To bring a successful claim, you generally must show:
A duty of care was owed
That duty was breached
The breach caused your injuries
You suffered damages as a result

These claims can arise from a wide range of incidents and require a detailed review of the facts.

Nevada's Statute of Limitations

Filing deadlines are a crucial part of any personal injury claim.

In Nevada:

Most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the date of injury
Claims against government entities must generally be filed within six months
Minors injured before turning 18 typically have until they turn 20 to file

Missing these deadlines can keep you from recovering the compensation you deserve, making timely action extremely important.

Nevada's Comparative Negligence Rule

Nevada follows a modified comparative negligence system.

State law determines how fault is assigned and how compensation is calculated based on each party's portion of responsibility. This means:

You can recover compensation as long as your share of fault does not exceed 50%
Your compensation is reduced based on your percentage of fault
If you are found 51% or more at fault, you cannot recover anything

For example, if you are found 20% at fault, your total recovery may be reduced by 20%.

Don’t let an accident slow you down. Get your life back on track with Big Auto.
