To have a chance at winning a personal injury lawsuit, it must be filed before the Nevada statute of limitations expires. The statute of limitations is a state law that sets a deadline for the time an injured party has to file a lawsuit against the person or organization who harmed them. If they fail to file within 2 years of the incident that caused the injury, they permanently loose the right to sue unless an extension applies to extend the deadline. The clock generally starts running on the date of the event that caused the injury.
