01What this covers
02What Nevada law actually says
In Nevada, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim — three years if it's property damage only.
Nevada follows comparative negligence. You can still recover even if you were partially responsible — your award is reduced by your share of the fault, not eliminated by it. This matters most in motorcycle cases, where fault gets assumed before it's proven.
Medical expenses, property damage, lost wages, reduced future earning capacity, and pain and suffering are all part of a claim — and motorcycle injuries tend to be more severe than the average car accident.
03Why call Ozzie specifically
Motorcycle cases are won or lost on whether a jury can see past the bike to the facts. Thirty years trying cases, AV rated by Martindale-Hubbell, listed in Super Lawyers and Best Lawyers, and named Consumer Advocate of the Year by the Nevada Justice Association in 2019 — that trial record is exactly what it takes to push back on an assumption before it decides your case.
04Straight answers
Generally two years from the date of the accident. If it's property damage only, three years.
It can be a factor insurers raise, but it does not automatically end a claim. This is worth a direct conversation about your specific situation.
Yes. Nevada's comparative negligence rule means you can still recover even if you're partially at fault — your award is reduced by your share, not wiped out.
No. You pay nothing unless we recover for you.
