Parking lotsCasino, hotel, and retail lots where drivers back out without looking.
Bike lane and sidewalk incidentsCyclists hit while riding where they had every right to be.
Hit-and-runYour own uninsured motorist coverage may still apply even if the driver is never found.

02What Nevada law actually says

Three things worth knowing before you call anyone.

The clock is running.

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.

Being partly at fault doesn't end your case.

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.

A fair recovery covers more than the ambulance bill.

Medical expenses, property damage, lost wages, reduced future earning capacity, and pain and suffering are all part of a claim — and pedestrian and cyclist injuries tend to be among the most severe.

03Why call Ozzie specifically

Thirty years standing in front of Nevada juries.

Pedestrian and cyclist cases usually carry the most serious injuries and the highest stakes. 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 record is what gets these cases taken seriously from the first call.

04Straight answers

Pedestrian and bicycle accident questions.

How long do I have to file a claim in Nevada?

Generally two years from the date of the accident. If it's property damage only, three years.

I was jaywalking. Can I still recover?

Possibly, 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. This is worth discussing directly.

What if the driver fled the scene?

Your own uninsured motorist coverage may apply. This is one of the first things worth checking in a free consultation.

Do I pay anything up front?

No. You pay nothing unless we recover for you.
