Personal Injury Statute Of Limitations in Nevada

Nevada Revised Statute § 11.190 governs the time limit for filing a personal injury lawsuit in the state. Under this statute, a claimant must initiate legal action within two years from the date the cause of action accrues. This two-year period applies to claims for bodily injury or death caused by the wrongful act or neglect of another. The official text, available through the Nevada Legislature’s website, sets out the specific rule and any applicable exceptions. The worked example below demonstrates how the two-year deadline applies to a typical personal injury scenario. To estimate whether a specific claim falls within this limitation period, users should consult the DocketMath calculator for a result tailored to their facts.

Example inputs:
