In Nevada, most catastrophic injury claims have a statute of limitations of two-years. That means you must file a suit against the at-fault party within that time period, or you cannot collect compensation for your injuries. However, just because you have that amount of time, does not mean you should wait.
Speaking with an experienced Reno catastrophic injury attorney as soon as possible after your accident can help you determine whether you have a viable claim and the best time to file. Remember, over time, memories can fade, evidence can get lost, and witnesses may no longer be available to testify, which may ultimately hinder your case.
