What Is Nevada’s Dog Bite Law?
Nevada follows a one-bite rule. This means you can seek legal action against the owner of the dog for your losses if you can demonstrate that the dog was a non-risk. That means you must show that the owner knew some type of risk existed, such as the dog having bitten someone in the past. This makes recovery of damages harder if the dog has no history of biting people or aggressive behaviors.
You may still be able to seek compensation against the owner of the dog. To do so, we will file a negligence claim. For example, we may be able to show that the dog was showing clear signs that the animal was going to attack, such as growling or baring its teeth, and the owner failed to take action to protect others.
We may also be able to seek legal action as a negligence per se case, meaning that the owner is automatically negligent if the owner is in violation of the law, such as having a dog in public without a leash when required.
What Compensation Can You Claim In an Enterprise Dog Bite Claim?
Our attorneys will help you build a claim that incorporates all losses you have. This may include losses such as:
- Medical bills from the care received
- Mental health counseling costs due to dog bites
- Lost wages if you were unable to work for a period of time
- Ongoing medication, medical treatment, and reconstructive surgery
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional trauma and mental anguish
When you work with our Enterprise dog bite attorney, we will uncover all aspects of your loss. That includes what you are facing today and will face in the future due to your injuries and experiences.
What is the Deadline to File a Dog Bite Claim in Nevada?
Nevada law gives victims up to two years from the date of the accident to seek legal action against those who cause them loss. In many situations, we will settle your claim out of court long before this. However, acting now is critical to preserving long-term access to a lawsuit if necessary. There may be some exceptions to this rule.
