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.
