FAQ

In Nevada, there are three statutes of limitation relative to construction defect cases: Six years from substantial completion: patent defects. Eight years from substantial completion: latent defects. Ten years from substantial completion: known defects.

In Nevada, the statute of limitations for product liability claims is generally four years from the date of injury or damage caused by the product. However, similar to other cases, the discovery rule may extend this time limit if the injury is discovered later.

The statute of repose sets a limit on how far the discovery rule can apply. For example, the state's statute of repose may give you 10 years from when the construction is substantially completed to pursue a claim, and the statute of limitations that applies to your case may be 6 years after discovering the defect.
