Personal Injury Law in Las Vegas — What You Need to Know

Nevada's legal system has its own procedures, deadlines, and standards that differ from other states. For personal injury cases in Clark County, the court of record is typically the Clark County District Court for felonies and civil matters over $15,000, or the Las Vegas Justice Court for misdemeanors and small claims. Choosing a Las Vegas personal injury attorney who regularly appears in these specific courts — and who knows the local culture and preferences — can make a meaningful difference in your outcome.

Nevada law imposes strict deadlines on most legal matters. Personal injury claims must generally be filed within two years under NRS 11.190; DUI-related license suspensions trigger an immediate seven-day clock to request a DMV hearing; divorce filings require six weeks of Nevada residency under NRS 125.020. Missing these windows can permanently bar your legal remedies. Robert's 35 years of Nevada practice means clients get timely guidance on all applicable deadlines from the first consultation.

What to Expect Working with Robert T. Eglet

Most Nevada attorneys in personal injury offer a free initial consultation.

Fee structures in Nevada vary by practice area. For personal injury and wrongful death cases, contingency fees typically range from 33% to 40% of the recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions — Personal Injury in Nevada

How does Nevada's comparative fault law work?

Nevada follows modified comparative negligence (NRS 41.141). You can recover damages even if you were partially at fault — as long as you are 50% or less responsible. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. If you are 51% or more at fault, you cannot recover anything.

How long does a personal injury case take in Nevada?

Most Nevada personal injury cases resolve within 6–18 months of retaining an attorney, depending on the severity of injuries, insurance coverage disputes, and whether litigation is required. Cases with extensive medical treatment may require waiting until 'maximum medical improvement' (MMI) before settling — ensuring future treatment costs are fully accounted for. Your attorney can advise on the optimal timing for each phase.

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Nevada?

Nevada's statute of limitations for personal injury is 2 years from the date of injury (NRS 11.190). For injuries involving government entities, you must file a Notice of Claim within 90 days. Missing these deadlines permanently bars your claim. Contact an attorney as soon as possible after an injury.

What is the difference between economic and non-economic damages?

Economic damages in Nevada are quantifiable financial losses: medical bills, lost wages, future medical costs, and lost earning capacity. Non-economic damages are harder to quantify: pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and permanent impairment. Nevada does not cap non-economic damages in personal injury cases (unlike medical malpractice), so both categories can be fully pursued.
