What Are Some Important Nevada Personal Injury Laws?

A plaintiff must adhere to specific statewide laws while filing a claim to successfully recover a settlement or jury award. Certain burdens of proof, elements of a case, and rules for filing exist in Nevada. Our trial lawyers know the state’s personal injury laws inside and out. We can help you navigate them easily through knowledgeable legal counsel.

We believe a few of the most important Nevada personal injury laws to know as a plaintiff are:

Statute of limitations. The state of Nevada enforces a strict deadline by which all plaintiffs must file personal injury claims – or lose the right to recover compensation. You have two years from the date of your accident to file a claim in Nevada. Different civil cases will have different deadlines, however, so contact us for more information.
Fault auto accident laws. When it comes to recovering from car accidents, Nevada is a “fault” state, meaning you must identify the at-fault party and seek compensation through his or her insurance company. Fault laws permit injured parties in a car accident to pursue recovery through civil claims, if necessary. A car accident lawyer will be able to determine liability and recover damages.
Shared fault personal injury laws. With all personal injury claims, Nevada courts will abide by modified comparative fault rules when determining compensation. This means a plaintiff may share fault for an accident and still receive partial recovery. The courts will reduce the compensation award by the plaintiff’s percentage of fault.

The state of Nevada has many different personal injury statutes that may come into play in your case. County-specific laws for Clark County may also play a role, such as county bicycle or cell phone laws.

Work with an attorney to gain a deeper understanding of the regulations your case might address.

Our injury lawyers in Las Vegas can handle the legal matters and legwork of your claim while you focus on getting well.

How Much Is My Las Vegas Injury Claim Worth?

“Damages” in a personal injury claim refer to both the losses the plaintiff suffered and the financial recoveries he or she could receive as compensation. When wondering about the damages you might be eligible for, consider the price of your medical care bills, the impact the injury has had on your life, and the actions of the defendant.

You may be able to recover for the following types of damages:

Past and future medical bills
Physical pain and emotional suffering
Mental anguish
Lost wages and the capacity to earn
Lost enjoyment or quality of life
Property damage
Loss of consortium
Funeral/burial expenses

The amount you recover depends largely on the attorney you hire. Working with Panish | Shea | Ravipudi LLP can help you feel confident in your attorney’s ability to negotiate with insurance companies and get the best possible results for your claim.

Las Vegas Personal Injury Frequently Asked Questions

What If I Can’t Afford a Personal Injury Lawyer?

At Panish | Shea | Ravipudi LLP, we work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay no upfront costs. The attorney’s fees are a percentage of the settlement or judgment awarded. If you don’t win your case, you typically owe nothing. This arrangement makes legal representation accessible regardless of your financial situation.

How Do I Prove Negligence in a Personal Injury Case?

To establish negligence, you must demonstrate:

Duty of Care: The defendant owed you a legal duty.

Breach: The defendant breached that duty through action or inaction.

Causation: The breach directly caused your injury.

Damages: You suffered actual harm or losses as a result.

Evidence such as witness statements, medical records, and expert testimony can support your claim.

Will A Criminal Record Affect My Personal Injury Claim?

Generally, a prior criminal record doesn’t impact your ability to pursue a personal injury claim. However, if the record is directly related to the incident in question, it could influence the proceedings. Discussing your history with your attorney can help address any potential concerns.

Can I Switch Attorneys During My Personal Injury Case?

Yes, you have the right to change attorneys at any point during your case. However, it’s important to consider the timing and potential implications, such as delays or additional costs. Ensure that the transition doesn’t negatively impact your case by coordinating the change carefully.

Can I File a Personal Injury Claim on Behalf of My Child?

Yes, parents or legal guardians can file personal injury claims on behalf of their minor children in Nevada. The court may require approval of any settlement to ensure it’s in the child’s best interest. Additionally, the statute of limitations for minors may be extended, allowing them to file a claim upon reaching adulthood if one wasn’t filed earlier.

How Long Does a Personal Injury Lawsuit Take to Settle in Nevada?

he duration of a personal injury lawsuit in Nevada can vary significantly based on the complexity of the case, the severity of injuries, and the willingness of parties to settle. Some cases resolve in a few months, while others may take a year or more, especially if they proceed to trial. Factors such as the need for extensive medical treatment or disputes over liability can extend the timeline.

What Is the Personal Injury Claim Process in Nevada?

A personal injury case in Nevada typically begins when you file a summons and complaint in the appropriate court. According to the Nevada Rules of Civil Procedure Rule 4, you initiate a case by submitting these documents to the court clerk where you’re filing the case. The process involves several steps, including discovery, negotiation, and potentially a trial, depending on the specifics of your case.

What Should I Do Immediately After a Personal Injury Accident?

Take photos of your injuries and the accident scene.
Seek medical attention promptly and follow your doctor’s care plan.
Write down a detailed account of the incident while it’s still fresh in your memory.
Collect contact information from any witnesses.
Consult with a personal injury attorney to understand your rights and next steps.

How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim in Nevada?

In Nevada, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally two years from the date of the injury. Failing to file within this timeframe can result in the loss of your right to seek compensation.

What Happens If I’m Partially at Fault for the Accident?

Nevada follows a comparative negligence rule, meaning you can still recover damages if you’re partially at fault, as long as your fault is not more than 50%. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.

Will My Personal Injury Case Go to Trial?

While many personal injury cases are settled out of court, some may proceed to trial if a fair settlement cannot be reached. Your attorney will advise you on the best course of action based on the specifics of your case.

How Much Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Cost?

Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if you win your case. This fee is typically a percentage of the settlement or judgment awarded.

Can I File a Personal Injury Claim Without an Attorney?

While it’s possible to file a personal injury claim on your own, having an experienced attorney can significantly improve your chances of obtaining fair compensation. An attorney can navigate the legal complexities and advocate on your behalf.

What If the At-Fault Party Doesn’t Have Insurance?

If the at-fault party lacks insurance, you may still have options for compensation. For instance, your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage could provide benefits. Consulting with an attorney can help identify all potential sources of recovery.
