How Do I Prove Negligence in My Personal Injury Lawsuit?
To prove negligence and win your personal injury lawsuit, you must establish four key elements:
Duty of Care
The defendant (the person or entity you're suing) owed you a legal duty to exercise reasonable care to avoid causing harm. For example, drivers are expected to operate their vehicles safely, and property owners must maintain safe premises for visitors.
Breach of Duty
The defendant breached their duty of care by acting negligently or failing to act as a reasonable person would in a similar situation. This could involve speeding, failing to repair or warn about hazardous conditions, or other careless actions.
Causation
The defendant's breach of duty was the direct or proximate cause of your injuries. In other words, you must demonstrate a clear link between their negligence and the harm you suffered.
Actual Harm
You suffered actual harm or loss as a result of the defendant's negligence. This could include medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and other losses.
What Damages Can I Recover in a Personal Injury Claim?
You may be able to recover several types of damages in your personal injury case to compensate you for the losses you've suffered due to someone else's negligence. Compensation is typically divided into two categories: economic damages and non-economic damages.
Economic damages are those that reflect the monetary aspects of an accident and resulting injuries. They’re intended to cover:
Medical Expenses
Past and future medical bills, hospitalization costs, medication, rehabilitation, therapy, and any other healthcare-related expenses.
Lost Wages
Income lost due to your injuries, including past and future lost wages, bonuses, and other employment benefits.
Property Damage
If your property was damaged in the incident, you can seek compensation for repairs or replacement.
Other Out-of-Pocket Expenses
This may include travel expenses for medical appointments, assistive devices, home modifications to accommodate disabilities, and other related costs.
Economic damages constitute the bulk of the award in most personal injury claims.
By contrast, non-economic damages compensate accident victims for the harder-to-quantify effects of their injuries, such as:
Pain and Suffering
Payment for the physical pain and emotional distress your injuries have caused.
Emotional Distress
Acknowledges the psychological impact of the accident, such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and other mental health concerns.
Loss of Enjoyment of Life
Addresses the limitations on your ability to engage in activities you once enjoyed due to your injuries.
Loss of Consortium
If your injuries have negatively impacted your relationship with your spouse, you may be compensated for loss of companionship, affection, and support.
In rare cases, you may also be able to recover punitive damages. These are not intended to compensate you for your losses but rather to punish the defendant for particularly egregious or reckless conduct and to deter similar behavior in the future.
Statute of Limitations for Personal Injury Cases in Nevada
In Nevada, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury lawsuit is generally two years from the date of the injury. As the victim, you must initiate legal action against the party you believe is responsible for your injuries in this timeframe or risk forfeiting your right to compensation.
That said, there are several exceptions and nuances to this rule worth mentioning, including the following.
Discovery Rule
In some cases, the two-year clock may not start ticking until you discover or reasonably should have discovered your injury. This is often the case in instances where injuries may not be immediately apparent, such as those resulting from medical malpractice or exposure to hazardous substances.
Accidents Involving Minors
If the injured party is a minor, the statute of limitations may be extended to provide more opportunity for legal recourse. In Nevada, minors typically have two years from the date they turn 18 to file a lawsuit.
Wrongful Death
In wrongful death cases, the two-year statute of limitations begins on the date of the victim’s death, not the date the injury occurred.
Claims Against Government Entities
Special notice requirements and shorter deadlines may apply to claims against government entities, such as the state or local governments. In some cases, you may have as few as 180 days to notify the government entity of your intent to bring a claim.
