Frequently Asked Questions
Civil litigation is the process of resolving non-criminal legal disputes through the court system. In Revere, civil cases include breach of contract, business disputes, property damage, fraud, personal injury, and landlord-tenant conflicts. A civil litigation attorney represents you from the initial filing through discovery, motions, trial, and any appeals under the Nevada Rules of Civil Procedure.
Statutes of limitations in Nevada vary by claim type: 2 years for personal injury (NRS 11.190), 3 years for fraud (NRS 11.190), 6 years for written contracts (NRS 11.190), and 4 years for breach of oral contracts. Missing the deadline permanently bars your claim. A Revere civil litigation attorney should be consulted as soon as a dispute arises to preserve your rights.
Small claims ($10,000 or less) are heard in Justice Court. Cases from $10,001 to $15,000 may also be heard in Justice Court. District Court (Clark County Eighth Judicial District) handles most civil cases above $15,000, including jury trials. A Revere civil litigation attorney familiar with local judges and procedures can advise on the right court for your claim.
In criminal cases, the government prosecutes a defendant for violations of criminal law; punishment includes jail or prison. In civil cases, one private party sues another for money damages or injunctive relief. The burden of proof in civil cases is 'preponderance of the evidence' (more likely than not), which is a lower standard than the 'beyond a reasonable doubt' standard in criminal cases.
Generally, Nevada follows the 'American Rule' — each party pays their own attorney fees. However, fees can be recovered if: the contract specifically provides for them (NRS 18.010), the court finds the opposing party brought a frivolous claim (NRS 18.010(2)), or a specific statute authorizes fee-shifting (e.g., NRS 41.1395 for elder abuse, NRS 686A.310 for insurance bad faith). A civil litigation attorney can advise whether fees are recoverable in your case.
You typically have 20 days to file a formal Answer after being served with a civil complaint in Nevada (NRCP 12(a)). Failure to respond results in a default judgment against you. Contact a Revere civil litigation attorney immediately upon service — early intervention can identify defenses, counterclaims, and settlement options before the case escalates.
