Pursuant to Nevada Revised Statute 11.190(4)(e), there is a specific, limited period of time in which you are able to pursue a civil action against someone for their negligent actions, or inactions that caused your harms and losses. This is known as the “statute of limitations.”
In most personal injury cases, including tendon or ligament injury cases, the statute of limitations is limited to two years, and this two-year clock begins to run the day of the accident. Though, there are some notable exceptions to this general rule. To determine whether you are still able to file a lawsuit within the statutory period, speak to an attorney well versed in personal injury law.
