What Damages Can I Recover in a Spring Valley Personal Injury Case?
Through your Spring Valley personal injury claim, we will ask for money from the person or organization that was responsible for harming you. This money, called “damages,” is meant to compensate you for the losses and hardships you've suffered due to your injury.
Generally, we ask for both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages account for the money you have paid or lost due to your injury:
Medical Expenses
This includes past and future expenses for hospital stays, surgeries, doctor visits, medication, physical therapy, and other treatments.
Lost Wages
If your injuries prevented you from working, your claim can include the income you lost, including potential future earnings if your injuries have long-term effects.
Property Damage
If your property was damaged in the accident, you may be able to recover the cost of repairs or replacement.
Non-economic damages account for the emotional and psychological impact of your injury. They are often calculated as a certain multiple of economic damages, depending on the severity of the injury:
Pain and Suffering
This compensation is for the physical pain and emotional distress you've experienced as a result of your injuries.
Loss of Enjoyment of Life
If your injuries have reduced your ability to enjoy activities and hobbies you once participated in, you deserve to be compensated for this loss.
Emotional Distress
A claim for a severe injury may ask for compensation for conditions like anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Finally, there is another type of damages called “punitive damages.” These are rare, but they may be awarded if the defendant's conduct was particularly reckless or malicious. The purpose of awarding punitive damages is to punish the wrongdoer and deter others from acting in the same way.
The amount we will seek will depend on the unique circumstances of your case. An experienced personal injury attorney at Cameron Law can assess your situation, calculate your potential damages, and fight for all of the compensation you deserve.
What Is the Deadline to File a Personal Injury Case in Nevada?
In Nevada, the general statute of limitations for filing a personal injury lawsuit is two years from the date of the accident. This means you have just two years to take legal action against the party responsible for your injuries.
However, there are some fine points to be aware of regarding this deadline:
Nevada’s Discovery Rule
The two-year clock may not start ticking until you discover or reasonably should have discovered your injury. This rule is particularly relevant in cases where injuries are not immediately apparent, such as those involving latent diseases or medical malpractice.
Claims Against Government Entities
The statute of limitations for claims against the state of Nevada is also two years. However, before you are eligible to file a lawsuit, you must first file a claim with the attorney general. If the attorney general denies your claim, you can then proceed with a lawsuit.
Claims against the federal government are similar; you must first file a claim against the government agency responsible for your injury before you are eligible to file a lawsuit.
Claims by Minors
For injured minors, the statute of limitations may be extended. This means that you have until your 20th birthday to file a lawsuit for an injury you incurred as a minor.

FAQ
How much does a personal injury lawyer in Spring Valley cost?
At Cameron Law, we generally work on a contingency fee basis because we believe that everyone deserves access to justice, regardless of their financial situation. With a contingency fee, you pay us only if we win you compensation. Our fee is a percentage of the amount we recover for you, so you have no upfront costs and no financial risk.
What happens if a plaintiff is partially at fault for their injury?
Nevada follows the modified comparative negligence rule; even if you are partially at fault for your injury, you may still be able to recover compensation as long as you are not more than 50% responsible. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are 20% at fault, your compensation would be reduced by 20%.
