Las Vegas Highway Accident FAQs
The highway accident lawyers in Las Vegas at H&P Law are ready to address your legal questions. Below, we’re providing answers to common questions our attorneys receive about highway crash claims and lawsuits.
Do I Have to Report a Highway Accident to the Police in Nevada?
Under Nevada law, drivers involved in a crash must stop, exchange required information, and provide reasonable assistance to anyone who is injured. If no police officer is present, drivers generally must report a crash to the nearest police authority or Nevada Highway Patrol when the crash involves an injury or death or occurs on a highway.
Per Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) § 484E.070, a written or electronic report to the Nevada Department of Public Safety (DPS) is generally required within 10 days if the crash results in an injury, a death, or apparent property damage of $750 or more, subject to statutory exceptions.
What Is the Statute of Limitations to File a Lawsuit?
Per NRS § 11.190(4)(e), the statute of limitations for filing a lawsuit if you are injured in a highway accident is typically two years. Exceptions to this statute of limitations can apply if an injury is not immediately discoverable or if a liable party leaves Nevada after the incident.
Based on NRS § 11.190(4)(e) and NRS § 41.085, if you want to file a wrongful death lawsuit against someone for a fatal highway crash involving a family member, the statute of limitations is generally two years from the date of death. An heir or personal representative of a deceased person (decedent) can bring a wrongful death claim for different categories of damages.
How Does Liability Work in a Highway Accident Case?
Nevada follows a modified comparative negligence rule governed by NRS § 41.141. With this rule, you can recover compensation for your losses as long as you are 50% or less at fault. In this scenario, your total payout is reduced by your percentage of fault.
