Medical malpractice harms thousands of Nevada patients every year — through misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, and hospital negligence. Las Vegas and Clark County are served by University Medical Center — Nevada's only Level I Trauma Center — as well as Sunrise Hospital, Valley Hospital, and Desert Springs Hospital. When these institutions fail their patients, the consequences can be life-altering. Nevada's medical malpractice framework, including the affidavit of merit requirement and the non-economic damages cap, requires early legal action and expert support. TopDog fights to get you every dollar you deserve.
University Medical Center and Sunrise Hospital serve the communities where our clients live. We know these facilities, the standards they are held to, and how to hold them accountable when they fall short. Those failures cause real damage to Las Vegas families and we fight to get injured people the care and money they deserve.
Hospitals and their insurers across Clark County may use Nevada's affidavit of merit requirement and procedural complexity to protect themselves. We are ready to leverage the justice system in Clark County District Court to fight back. You were already failed once. That will not happen again.
IMPORTANT NEVADA LEGAL INFORMATION — MEDICAL MALPRACTICE
Statute of Limitations: 2 years from the date you discovered or should have discovered the malpractice, or 3 years from the date of the act — whichever occurs first — under NRS 41A.097 (as amended by AB 404, effective October 1, 2023).
Affidavit of Merit Required: When filing a medical malpractice lawsuit in Nevada, you must file an affidavit of merit from a qualified medical expert who has reviewed the case and determined it has merit.
Non-Economic Damages Cap: Nevada caps non-economic damages (pain and suffering) in medical malpractice cases. The cap for 2026 is $590,000 under NRS 41A.035, increasing by $80,000 annually through 2028, then by 2.1% annually thereafter. Economic damages are not capped.
Comparative Negligence: Modified comparative negligence with a 51% bar applies.
This is a brief summary of commonly applied laws in the jurisdiction. There are often different laws that apply to different circumstances. Once you hire TopDog, your attorney will advise you on the applicable laws.
