Nevada Personal Injury Laws and Settlements

On this page we will explain some of the key points of law applicable to personal injury lawsuits in Nevada, including the statute of limitations. We will also explain what the average settlement payout is in Nevada personal injury lawsuits and review some recent verdicts and settlements from Nevada.

2-Year Statute of Limitations for Nevada Personal Injury Lawsuits

All statutes have laws called statutes of limitations. A statute of limitations is a law that sets a time limit on the right to bring a legal action. Once this time period expires, the injured party typically loses the right to file a lawsuit related to that particular event. Statutes of limitations serve several purposes, including ensuring that legal actions are pursued in a timely manner, preserving evidence while it is still fresh, and protecting defendants from having to defend against stale claims. Nev. Rev. Stat. § 11.190

Nevada Negligent Security Lawsuit

by Ronald V. Miller, Jr.

This article explores negligent security lawsuits in Nevada, their components, and how to effectively establish a claim. Our lawyers explain Nevada’s negligent security law and look at settlement amounts and jury payouts in these lawsuits. The claims are not filed for minor injuries. These lawsuits usually involve tragic circumstances, and the settlement compensation and jury awards are typically high, given the severity of the harm and suffering to the victim and the victim’s family.

Negligent Security Defined

Negligent security lawsuits pertain to cases where a crime or violent act occurred due to a property owner’s failure to implement sufficient security measures. Claims can be brought against security companies, property management firms, property owners, and tenants who neglect to put reasonable safety precautions in place. The fundamental principle is that the crime could have been prevented if the defendant had cared enough to employ adequate security measures to protect the people they are making money from as customers.
