A law you should be aware of if you plan to file a Las Vegas personal injury lawsuit is the statute of limitations. According to NRS § 11.190(4)(e), you typically have two years to file a personal injury lawsuit against the at-fault party. The same statute applies in wrongful death cases. If you lost a loved one in an accident, a wrongful death attorney will fight for the recovery of funeral and burial expenses, along with lost income and pain and suffering.
