Frequently-Asked-Questions

I was injured in a car accident in Nevada. What do I do?

1. DO NOT ADMIT FAULT!
2. Remain at the scene, move your car to a safe area if possible, and call an ambulance if necessary.
3. Exchange information with the other involved drivers and document everything that happened.
4. Report the accident to the DMV within 10 days if it caused bodily injury or at least $750 in property damage.
5. Seek medical assistance if needed for your injuries, and contact an attorney to pursue money damages from all the at-fault parties.

Can I sue my employer if I was injured at work?

If you were injured at work, you may have no choice but to pursue workers’ compensation. Though depending on the circumstances of your accident, we may still be able to bring a traditional lawsuit against your employer or other third parties.

How much money can I get?

Our attorneys fight for the maximum compensation for your:

• medical bills,
• lost wages,
• lost earning capacity, and
• pain and suffering.

If your loved one died in an accident, we can also fight for loss of support and funeral expenses. Depending on the case, we can pursue punitive damages as well.

Note that the vast majority of cases resolve with a settlement and no trial.

How long do I have to sue?

In most personal injury cases based on negligence, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. Though this statute of limitations can be longer or shorter depending on the facts of the case and the legal grounds.

What if I was partly to blame?

In Nevada, you can still recover damages as long as you were no more than 50% to blame. Your monetary damages would just be reduced in proportion to your degree of fault.
