Winning trial lawyers putting you first

The thing about serious injuries is that they don’t just cause physical pain.

When someone else was responsible for causing your accident and injuries, it is important that they are held accountable for these damages – physical, emotional, and financial. This not only helps the injured person but also makes our community safer by reminding people that there are consequences if they act carelessly or recklessly.

You’re eligible to file a personal injury action here in Las Vegas when a person or party acts in a negligent manner that results in another’s injuries and losses. In other words?

In the tragic event another’s negligence causes the loss of a loved one, we will file a wrongful death claim on your behalf. We know no amount of money can bring back your loved one, but we can work to help make things right.

What steps should I take after a serious injury?

  1. Report your accident to the appropriate authorities immediately.This might be the police, your employer, a store employee, or a supervisor. Request medical care if you feel you have injuries. Visit the hospital or urgent care even if you aren’t sure if you’re injured. Some injuries, like traumatic brain injuries or internal injuries, can have delayed symptoms. Prompt medical attention is important to your overall health and well-being.
  2. Remain at the scene of the accident to collect information, if you can or have a trusted friend do so for you. Gather information such as the names of all parties involved and any eyewitnesses. If you were in a car crash, get the other driver’s insurance information as well.
  3. Take photographs of the scene, of any property damage, and of your injuries. If you were injured on someone’s property due to a dangerous condition, take photos of the dangerous condition.
  4. Get copies of all relevant documents, including police reports, incident reports, medical documents, and communications with insurance companies.

The more information about your case you have, the stronger your claim will be. If you were injured in a car crash, contact one of our experienced Las Vegas car accident lawyers to learn more about filing a claim.

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Nevada?

Nevada’s personal injury statute of limitations is two years from the date of the injury or injury discovery, with a few exceptions. This means you have to file a complaint to start a lawsuit in court within two years from the date of your incident. However, you should speak to our Las Vegas injury lawyers as soon as possible after your accident to ensure you do not miss the deadline. Once we have determined who caused your injury and was at fault, our team can fill out the proper paperwork to start a lawsuit in the Clark County civil courts.

Remember, it’s up to you to file a personal injury lawsuit; the police or the city will not do so for you. Our injury attorneys handle the legwork it takes to bring a claim in Las Vegas, including filling out all the confusing paperwork and making sure you meet that statute of limitations.

What damages can I seek in a personal injury claim?

Under the law, you can seek damages when you suffer a loss. These damages are determined by a variety of factors, such as the extent of your injuries, whether you have a disability, how long you will be out of work, how much the accident impacted your life, the actions of the at-fault party and many other factors.

We work with you, your medical team, and other experts to determine the scope of your losses, and then present that determination to a jury or during settlement negotiations with the insurance company. We will give you an honest assessment of your claim and potential damages throughout your case and update you as things change.

You may be able to recover losses for your past and future medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage, lost quality of life, and loss of consortium. Family members can also receive damages for funeral and burial costs if a loved one passes away. What we’ve found over the years is that cases with substantial awards don’t only benefits victims, but also the community. Accountability reverberates, and negligent parties tend to think twice when their own profits are on the line.
