Nevada Personal Injury Laws

Personal injury law in Nevada is largely based on the state’s negligence laws. Negligence in a personal injury case occurs when someone fails to act with reasonable care and as a result, causes harm or damage to another person.

According to the Nevada personal injury statute of limitations, there is a two-year timeframe to file a personal injury lawsuit starting from the date of the injury. In the case of a wrongful death lawsuit, the two-year countdown begins at the date of death, rather than the date of injury. NRS 11.190(4)(e) [1]

Automobile Accidents – Nevada is an at-fault state. This means that the driver who is found to be at fault for an accident is responsible for the costs of any damages that occur as a result.

Premises Liability – Property owners have the duty to maintain their premises and warn visitors of any potential hazards or dangers. If you were injured due to hazardous conditions, you may be able to file a claim against the property owner for negligence.

Dog Bites – Nevada follows a one-bite rule for dog bites. The one-bite rule can provide some protection to a dog owner if their dog bites someone for the first time, but it is not always applicable.

Damage Caps in Nevada

Under NRS 42.005, Nevada imposes caps on damages in two specific scenarios. There is a cap of $350,000 for pain and suffering damages, as well as restrictions on punitive damages. If the damages amount to less than $100,000, the cap is $300,000. If the damages exceed $100,000, the cap is set at three times the amount of damages. [2]

Nevada Modified Comparative Negligence

In Nevada, the comparative negligence system is known as modified comparative negligence. According to Nevada law NRS 41.141, a victim can receive financial compensation as long as their level of fault for the accident is not greater than that of the defendants. The amount of compensation awarded to the victim is reduced based on their degree of responsibility. [3]

How Do You Prove Negligence in Las Vegas?

In a personal injury lawsuit in Nevada the burden of proof falls on the injured party (the plaintiff). Your attorney will be experienced in proving negligence and persuading a judge or jury based on evidence. To secure a settlement or jury verdict, your lawyer must establish four key elements.

Duty of Care owed. The person who is believed to be responsible for your injuries (the defendant) must have had a duty to exercise reasonable care at the time of your accident.
Duty of Care breached. The defendant is responsible for breaching a duty of care, either intentionally or carelessly, in a manner that another reasonable party would not have.
Causation Established. Your lawyer will need to establish a causal relationship between the defendant’s breach of duty of care and your accident.
Damages Suffered. To support your case, your accident lawyer will require evidence of the damages you incurred as a result of the defendant’s actions, such as medical expenses or income loss.

A lawyer with extensive experience representing personal injury claims will possess the knowledge and skills needed to effectively present your case for the best chance of success.

What Should I Do After Suffering a Personal Injury

Feeling overwhelmed and confused after a personal injury is normal. It’s understandable to not know where to seek help, especially when the other party involved may try to avoid responsibility, and insurance companies may try to take advantage of you.

To protect your rights, it’s important to take specific steps from the start of your case. If possible, take the following actions:

Report the accident. If it is an emergency, call 911 to report the accident. If it is not an emergency, report the accident to authorities on the premises, such as a store manager, property owner, or your employer. Request a written accident report.
Gather Evidence. Collect all relevant information regarding the incident, such as the location, time, date, and names of individuals involved, including eyewitnesses. It is advisable to capture photographs and videos of the accident scene prior to departure.
Get medical care. After an accident, always seek medical care, even if you feel fine initially. Hidden or delayed injuries may be present. Delaying medical care could provide an insurance company with grounds to deny your injury claim.
Avoid speaking about your case. Do not discuss your personal injury case with friends or post about it on social media. Do not admit fault for the accident to anyone. Keep your answers to questions short and simple when speaking to an insurance company.
Contact a personal injury lawyer. Your first priority should be your health and safety. Get the help that you need and professional medical care for your injuries. Then, once you are on the mend, consider your legal options. If you wish to file a lawsuit against one or more parties for causing or contributing to your personal injury, consult with an attorney at Goldberg & Loren. We will let you know if your case has merit during your free legal consultation.
