Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Nevada

If you are beyond the Statute of Limitations (abbreviated as "SOL"), there probably is no way that you will succeed in having the case reopened. If you were to attempt, however, to get the SOL extended, you must provide a compelling tolling argument. To illustrate a few examples, tolling (which extends the SOL) can be argued on the following grounds: you were a minor when the SOL lapsed, you were insane, you were incarcerated, you were in a coma, or you were engaged in good faith settlement negotiations. Further complicating things, tolling can be curbed by the Statue of Repose. Also, you could run into problems associated with estoppel, res judicata, and a variety of other things. In short, the closure you seek will probably begin to take effect the moment you forget about it and decide to move on with your life. You won't bump into as many things, and you'll get farther in life, if you look forward while moving forward, rather than looking backward while trying to move forward.
