If you or a loved one has suffered a catastrophic injury in Las Vegas due to someone else's negligence, you have the right to seek compensation for your losses. Nevada law allows victims of catastrophic injuries to recover damages for:
Past, present, and future medical costs, such as hospital bills, surgeries, medication, rehabilitation, therapy, and medical equipment.
Compensation for income lost due to your inability to work during recovery or permanently due to your disability.
Non-economic damages for the physical pain, emotional distress, and mental anguish caused by your injury and its impact on your daily life.
Compensation for the diminished quality of life resulting from your inability to engage in activities you once enjoyed.
Damages for the physical and emotional impact of any scarring, disfigurement, or permanent disability caused by your injury.
If your property was damaged in the accident that caused your injury, you may be entitled to compensation for repairs or replacement.
In cases of gross negligence or intentional misconduct, the court may award punitive damages to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar behavior in the future.
In Nevada, the general statute of limitations for personal injury claims, including catastrophic injury claims, is two years from the date of the injury. This means you typically have two years from the date of the accident or incident that caused your catastrophic injury to file a lawsuit.
However, there are some exceptions and nuances to this rule:
If your catastrophic injury was not immediately apparent or discoverable, the two-year clock may start ticking from the date you reasonably should have discovered the injury.
If the injured person is a minor, the statute of limitations may be extended until they reach the age of 18 or, in some cases, until they turn 20.
For catastrophic injuries resulting from medical malpractice, the statute of limitations is generally three years from the date of the negligent act or one year from the date the injury was discovered or reasonably should have been discovered, whichever is sooner.
The timeline for resolving a catastrophic injury case in Las Vegas can vary significantly depending on several factors:
More severe injuries often require longer recovery periods and more extensive medical treatment, which can extend the timeline.
Cases involving multiple parties, complicated liability issues, or disputed medical diagnoses can take longer to resolve.
Court backlogs and trial schedules can also impact the timeline.
This process can take a few months to a year or more, depending on case complexity and the willingness of the parties to reach an agreement.
If a settlement cannot be reached, the case may proceed to litigation and trial, which can take several years, especially if there are appeals.
The length of your case depends heavily on the factors at play in your circumstances. Your lawyer can assess the situation and give you updated estimates throughout the case.

At Cameron Law, we work on a contingency fee basis. This means you won't pay any attorney fees upfront unless we recover compensation for your personal injury claim. Our fee is a percentage of the total recovery, so we only get paid if you do.
Nevada follows a modified comparative negligence law. This means your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault in the accident. However, you can only receive compensation if your fault is not greater than the other party's. Our attorneys will fight to minimize the impact of any shared fault and maximize your recovery.
