How Long To File Lawsuit

I was in a car accident in July of 2003. At the time I did not think that I had any serious injuries. I recently have been suffering from a very painful neck and back. I was diagnosed with a dislocated neck vertebrae, twisted spine and hips. The doctor said that this type of injury was probably caused from an accident and that it takes several years for it to aggravate. How many years after the accident do I have to file a lawsuit against the responsible parties insurance company?

Hi, please elaborate: was anybody determined to be at fault for the accident? Do you have your own auto insurance? If the other party was at fault, were you in contact with their insurance (if they even had any?)? If you were in contact with their insurance company (assuming they accepted fault), did you sign a release? Most of the time, injury from a MVA SOL is 2 years, from what I've heard.

Good luck.

Usually two years from the date of accident/injury to file a personal injury suit.

The other driver was ticketed as being at fault for this accident. I do have my own insurance but her insurance company did pay to repair my car. No I did not sign any release for this accident.

I believe that you may be out of luck! SOL ended in July 2005.

In addition...FYI if needed

Nevada, 2 years, Chapter 11, Sec 11.190
