Michael Lowry (Partner-Las Vegas, NV) was hired to defend a local trucking company in a case concerning one of its vehicles involved in a tip-over accident with another commercial truck. Michael obtained dismissal of the first case because the plaintiff failed to timely meet court deadlines for opening of discovery. The plaintiff then re-filed the suit, after the statute of limitations expired, arguing that COVID-19 pandemic orders had extended his statute of limitations period. Michael moved to dismiss, arguing the orders did not extend the statute of limitations as far as the plaintiff would have needed and, alternatively, that such orders were unconstitutional as applied to statutes of limitation. The Second Judicial District Court in Reno agreed with Michael on both points and dismissed the case.
