INJURY | PERSONAL INJURY LAWYER | PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY | INJURIES

To win a personal injury case in Nevada, victims must prove that the person responsible for injuries or damages owed you a duty and that he/she failed to carry out that duty in a reasonable and appropriate manner. Victims must also prove that the defendant’s failure to carry out that duty resulted in injuries or damages. Nevada also has a “comparative negligence law,” which means if you were more than 50 percent to blame for your injuries or damages, you can’t collect recover any damages. If you are less than 50 percent responsible, you can recover damages but they will be reduced by how much you were at fault. The person who caused your injury will have attorneys working hard to reduce the amount they have to pay, so hiring an expert personal injury attorney to support you is very important.

Nevada offers victims a two year statute of limitations during which to file claims, but the sooner paperwork is filed, the better. During this time, personal injury victims work closely with personal injury attorneys to gather evidence, file paperwork, and retain medical and damage records.
