Legal Alert

On August 15, 2024, the Nevada Supreme Court issued a pivotal ruling in Adkins v. Union Pacific Railroad, affecting the statute of limitations for latent defect claims with ambiguous factual circumstances. The Court in Adkins held that the statute of limitations is tolled, or paused, “until the injured party discovers or reasonably should have discovered the facts supporting” their claims even if a plaintiff merely states they were told the product has “no problems.” This principle, known as the “discovery rule,” can substantially extend the timeframe a plaintiff can pursue legal action against a company for an alleged latent defect in any product including a vehicle.
