In general, Nevada law allows two years after your accident to file a claim for your injuries. While some exceptions can allow you to file your claim later, you should try to avoid waiting to file a claim. Ideally, you want to file your claim as soon after your accident as possible. Immediately after your accident, your attorney can better find evidence pertaining to the accident, including any video surveillance from the scene of the accident. Witness statements may also remain clearer immediately after the accident; even your memory may fade significantly if you wait a long time to file your accident claim. Most victims of car accidents find the best results when they contact an attorney as soon as possible after the accident.
