Insurance companies move fast after an accident — and not because they're trying to help you. The adjuster who calls within a day of a crash is trained to lock down a recorded statement and offer a quick settlement before you know what your injuries actually look like. Don't sign anything until you've talked to your own lawyer.
Cases the firm handles
- Auto accidents — passenger cars, motorcycles, commercial trucks, rideshare
- Slip-and-fall and trip-and-fall on private and public property
- Premises liability — unsafe conditions, inadequate security, dog bites
- Hit-and-run and uninsured / underinsured motorist claims
- Wrongful death
- Pedestrian and bicycle injuries
What your case is worth
Honest answer: it depends. The major variables are:
- Medical costs — both what you've already incurred and what's reasonably projected
- Lost wages — including future earning capacity if the injury is permanent
- Pain and suffering — Nevada law allows recovery for non-economic damages
- Liability strength — how cleanly we can prove the other party was at fault
- Available coverage — the at-fault party's policy limits, plus any UM/UIM on your side
A real lawyer won't quote you a number on the phone before reviewing the file. Anyone who does is selling, not lawyering.
How a personal injury case unfolds
- Investigation. Police reports, witness statements, photos, video, vehicle damage, ER records.
- Treatment. We don't push you into care you don't need — but we do make sure your injuries are documented properly.
- Demand. Once treatment stabilizes, we put together a demand package showing the insurer what you've been through and what it's worth.
- Negotiation. Most cases settle. The leverage you have in settlement is directly tied to your willingness — and ability — to go to trial.
- Litigation. If they won't pay fair value, we file. After 40 years in Nevada courtrooms, insurance carriers know that.
No fee unless we recover
Personal injury cases are handled on contingency. You pay no attorney's fee unless and until we recover money for you. The percentage and the case-cost arrangement get spelled out in writing before you sign anything.
Nevada deadlines you need to know
Most personal injury claims in Nevada must be filed within two years of the accident. Some types of cases have shorter windows — claims against a government entity often require a notice of claim within months. Don't assume you have time.
