Nevada personal injury law allows accident victims to sue all the at-fault parties for compensatory damages to cover their medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other out-of-pocket costs. Even if you were half to blame, you still may be eligible for a settlement under Nevada’s comparative negligence laws.

Frequently-Asked-Questions
I was injured in a car accident in Nevada. What do I do?
- DO NOT ADMIT FAULT!
- Remain at the scene, move your car to a safe area if possible, and call an ambulance if necessary.

If your loved one died in an accident, we can also fight for loss of support and funeral expenses. Depending on the case, we can pursue punitive damages as well.
Note that the vast majority of cases resolve with a settlement and no trial.
How long do I have to sue?
In most personal injury cases based on negligence, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. Though this statute of limitations can be longer or shorter depending on the facts of the case and the legal grounds.
What if I was partly to blame?
In Nevada, you can still recover damages as long as you were no more than 50% to blame. Your monetary damages would just be reduced in proportion to your degree of fault.
