Under Nevada statute NRS 11.010, which outlines the statute of limitations for filing an injury claim, you have just two years from the time of an injury in which to file a claim. You must file a claim before the statute of limitations for a car accident expires to reserve your right to receive compensation. With rare exceptions, missing this deadline means losing your right to file. Vital evidence must be gathered and preserved, including the accident scene, the vehicles involved, and witnesses to the incident must be interviewed. As time passes this process becomes more difficult, and critical evidence can be lost or destroyed, and witnesses become difficult to find.
The process of filing a car accident claim or lawsuit should be initiated as soon as possible after the accident. At J. Cogburn Law Offices, a dedicated Las Vegas car accident lawyer will help you fight for justice and full compensation for your injuries. We urge you to reach out to us as early as possible.
