Highway accidents are one of the most dangerous and life-threatening types of accidents that can happen on the roads of Nevada.

Our skilled attorneys will investigate your highway accident to determine the cause of the accident and identify the parties at fault. We will then work tirelessly to secure the compensation you deserve for the injuries, damages, and losses you have suffered.

Who is At Fault in a Highway Accident in Las Vegas, Nevada?

In Nevada, liability for highway accidents is determined using a modified comparative negligence system. This means that each driver involved in the accident may share some portion of the responsibility, and damages will be awarded based on the percentage of fault each party has. If you were injured in a highway accident, you may be entitled to compensation.

Highway accidents have many contributing factors, such as:

Speeding
Reckless driving
Distracted driving
Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
Driving while fatigued
Poor weather conditions
Vehicle malfunctions
Cell phone use

Statute of Limitations for Car Accidents in Nevada

In Nevada, the statute of limitations for car accidents is two years from the date of the accident. This means that a person has two years from the date of their car accident to file a lawsuit seeking compensation for their injuries and damages.

It’s important to note that if the lawsuit is not filed within this two-year time frame, the injured party may lose their right to pursue legal action and recover compensation for their losses. Therefore, it’s important to speak with a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible after a car accident to ensure that you do not miss the deadline for filing a lawsuit.

It’s also worth noting that there may be different time limits for filing claims against government entities or in cases involving minors or individuals who are incapacitated. It’s best to speak with an experienced personal injury lawyer who can help you navigate the specific requirements and deadlines that may apply to your case.
