Evaluating Accidents Cases

After being in an auto accident you should move quickly to evaluate your claims and discuss your legal rights with an accident lawyer. One of our goals, whether through settlement discussion or litigating in court, is to obtain reimbursement for medical bills, lost wages, continuing medical care and pain and suffering. With most cases the focus will be to seek recoverable damages from the at-fault driver's insurance company. The at-fault driver's insurance company is responsible for your damages such as;

  • Medical Bills
  • Continuing Medical Care
  • Loss of Wages
  • Pain & Suffering
  • Vehicle Replacement

You may also have claims against the vehicle manufacturer regarding the lack of safety and design features of the vehicle. When it comes to obtaining a settlement our firm leaves no stone unturned. Using aggressive negotiation tactics and alternative litigation strategies our goal is to obtain a maximum settlement for your injury.


Q: What if I have no insurance but the other person was cited?
A: In Nevada, you are required to have insurance, but fault is not determined by who has or does not have insurance.  If the other driver is at fault the claim is generally handled the same way as if you did have insurance.

Q: What can I be reimbursed for from an accident?
A: Medical bills, future medical bills, lost wages, pain & suffering, permanent or partial disability, and vehicle repair or value of the vehicle are the common items that are reimbursed by the "at fault"   drivers insurance.

Q: How long does it take to be paid?
A: If you medical treatment is quick then it may only take two to four months to be reimbursed for medical bills.  If liability is disputed or your medical injuries require months of treatment then it will take longer for a dollar amount to be properly calculated.  Our office will not negotiate with the insurance adjuster until your medical treatment is 80% to 90% complete.

Q: What are the general steps to resolving a car accident claim?
A: The general steps are 1) attorney consultation, 2) send a  letter of representation to the insurance carrier, 3) working with the insurance carrier to accept liability, 4) medical treatments are completed, 4) demand letter for reimbursement of medical bills, lost wages and pain and suffering is made.
