01 · Your filing deadline

What is the deadline in Nevada?

Nevada's personal injury SOL is 2 years (NRS § 11.190(4)(e)). Elder abuse claims follow the same 2-year period. Nevada's medical malpractice statute (NRS § 41A) may impose additional requirements for nursing home claims characterized as healthcare negligence — consult local counsel. A lawyer can confirm yours.

Deadlines vary; a lawyer can confirm yours. An older diagnosis or a past filing window does not, by itself, establish whether you have a claim.
