Las Vegas Personal Injury Attorney
Serving the Las Vegas Area with a Reputation for Results
When personal injuries occur, they are usually sudden, unexpected, and can cause physical, emotional, and financial trauma. They also generally involve having to deal with an insurance company in making an injury claim. This often adds stress to the situation and trusting insurance adjusters to give you a fair deal is not advised. After all, they work for their employer, not for you. Their main interest is a quick settlement that pays you as little as possible, often reduced to much less than the true value of your case.

Answers to common questions
-
How much does it cost to hire your firm for my personal injury case?Sierra Nevada Injury Law takes your case on a contingency fee basis. That means you pay nothing unless we win a settlement on your behalf. You can move forward with us without worrying about adding legal fees to the financial drain you may already be facing for lost wages, medical expenses, and other injury-related costs.
-
Is there a cap on how much compensation I can receive in a personal injury claim?Nevada does not impose a cap on the amount of compensation that can be awarded in a personal injury claim unless it is a medical malpractice case. Therefore, your compensation will be based on the extent of your injuries and the damages you have suffered because of those injuries.
-
How long do I have to file a personal injury case?The state of Nevada gives you two years from the date of your accident to file your injury complaint. If you fail to file within that period, you will forfeit your right to compensation. However, it is recommended that you contact an attorney as soon as possible after you have been injured so that we have the time needed to gather all the details and evidence required to build a cohesive claim.

What if I am a vacationer when injured in Nevada?
You must still follow all the steps you would do if you were in your home state. Get medical care even if you believe your injuries are minor. Injuries often do not manifest for days and you will want documented evidence that you were hurt. Take photos of the accident scene, your car, the other cars or vehicles involved, skid marks, and anything else that can document what happened. Get a police report and exchange information with the other driver as well as get contact information from any witnesses.
Do not make any recorded statements to insurance companies. Ensure you follow through on your medical care as directed by your doctor. Call a local attorney. You will need an attorney who is licensed in Nevada, trained in our laws, and familiar with our courts. At Sierra Nevada Injury Law, we can help you get medical care, prepare your claim, bring in local experts if needed to prove your claim, and handle all aspects of your case.

Do I Really Need a Lawyer to Make a Claim?
Technically, you do not need a lawyer. However, bear in mind that it is a commonly-known fact that people represented by attorneys get much better results in securing fair compensation amounts than those who are not. Going up against savvy insurance companies and their representatives is challenging at best. Insurance adjusters work for their employers. Their employers are in business to make profits. Thus, their main objective is to pay out as little (or nothing) as possible. This leads to tactics in which you may be pressured to settle fast and for much less than what you will really need to cover expenses in the long run.
Insurance companies know when they are dealing with vulnerable victims who have little understanding of how the claims process works. That makes you an easy target for underhanded ways to devalue or deny your claim. Don’t let that happen. Hire a Las Vegas attorney at our firm to fully protect your rights and your future.
