Nevada dog bite claims: what you should know

Dog bites can cause deep wounds, infections, nerve damage and scarring, along with real fear and emotional harm, especially for children. Nevada law gives bite victims ways to hold the responsible owner accountable.

How liability works in Nevada

Nevada doesn't have a single dog bite statute. Most claims are based on negligence: the owner or keeper failed to use reasonable care to control the dog. If the owner broke an animal control law, like a local leash ordinance, that can make negligence easier to prove. Owners of dogs officially declared dangerous or vicious under NRS 202.500 face added duties and liability.

Who pays?

Many dog bite claims are paid by the owner's homeowner's or renter's insurance. A landlord or property manager may also be responsible in some situations, for example if they knew about a dangerous dog and failed to act.

What you may be able to recover

  • Emergency care, surgery and plastic surgery
  • Future treatment and scar revision
  • Counseling for fear and trauma
  • Lost wages
  • Pain and suffering

Frequently asked questions

Does Nevada have a one-bite rule?

Not exactly. Most Nevada dog bite claims are based on the owner's negligence, so a dog doesn't need a history of biting for the owner to be responsible. Breaking a leash law or other animal control rule can help prove negligence.

Will the owner have to pay out of pocket?

Usually not. Homeowner's or renter's insurance often covers dog bites.

My child was bitten. What should I do?

Get medical care first, then report the bite to animal control and take photos. Children's claims have special rules, so talk to More Money Morales.

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

Nevada generally gives you two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury lawsuit (NRS 11.190). Property damage claims generally have three years. Some claims, like those against government agencies, have extra rules, so it's best not to wait.

How much does it cost to hire More Money Morales?

Nothing upfront. There's no attorney's fee and no case costs unless we recover money for you.
