What Are the Statutes of Limitations to File a Claim?

Timing is critical when it comes to filing a personal injury claim. If you were hurt because of someone else’s negligence—on a job site, at a mine, or elsewhere—you only have a limited time to file a personal injury lawsuit in Nevada. 

Here’s what you need to know:

  • General Personal Injury Cases: You have 2 years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit.
  • Wrongful Death: If you’re filing on behalf of a loved one who passed away due to an accident, you have 2 years from the date of death.
  • Claims Involving the Government: If your injury involved a public agency, different notice rules may apply, and deadlines can be much shorter.

Waiting too long can permanently bar you from seeking compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Our team is available 24/7 and speaks both English and Spanish. Don't wait, contact our experienced team for your free initial consultation today.
