Personal Injury Lawyers in Nevada

If you’ve been injured in an accident in Nevada, prioritize your safety and check yourself and others for injuries. Even if your injuries seem minor, call 911 to report the accident and request medical assistance, as some injuries may not be immediately apparent.

Follow any medical advice medical professionals offer, whether on the scene or at a hospital. Follow all recommended treatments and keep detailed records of your medical care. If your personal injury claim goes to trial, your medical records can help establish the full extent of your damages and show that you took your injuries seriously. Most importantly, following the prescribed treatments should help you recover and move forward.

If possible, use your phone to take photos and videos at the accident scene, capturing details such as vehicle damage, road conditions, visible injuries, traffic signals, and any other relevant evidence. Exchange contact and insurance information with the other party involved and gather names, phone numbers, and statements from witnesses who saw the accident.

Next, file a police report. A police report is an official incident record, which can be critical evidence when filing your claim. When speaking to officers, be truthful and stick to the facts.

Then, report the accident to your insurer. Be honest, but avoid admitting fault or making statements that could be used against you later.

Finally, speak to a personal injury lawyer at Morgan & Morgan. Contacting an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible can help protect your rights, gather evidence, and navigate the complexities of filing a claim. An attorney will ensure you meet Nevada’s legal deadlines.

Morgan & Morgan offers free case evaluations to explain your rights and guide you through the next steps.

You might be entitled to compensation if you've been injured due to someone else's negligence. We want to ensure everyone can access information and get justice, so you can simply contact Morgan & Morgan for a free case evaluation to learn more about your legal options. Our team can review the details of your situation and advise you on the best course of action.

To have a valid personal injury claim, you generally need to prove that another party’s negligence caused your injuries. This includes demonstrating the following elements:

• Duty of Care: The other party had a legal duty to act responsibly, such as driving safely or maintaining a safe environment.
• Breach of Duty: The other party failed to meet that duty of care through their actions or inactions (e.g., speeding, failing to fix a hazard).
• Causation: There must be a direct link between the breach of duty and your injuries. You need to show that their actions were the actual cause of your harm.
• Damages: You suffered actual damages, such as medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, or other losses from the accident.

The best way to determine if you have a valid case is to consult with an experienced personal injury attorney. They can assess the details of your situation, gather and review evidence, explain your rights and options under Nevada law, and guide you through the legal process.

The amount of time you have to file a personal injury claim, known as the statute of limitations, varies by state and the specifics of your case. However, exceptions, such as in cases involving minors, government entities, or when the injury wasn’t discovered immediately, may apply.

It's important to file your claim as soon as possible to preserve your legal rights. Failing to file within the statute of limitations could result in your case being dismissed, meaning you may lose the opportunity to recover compensation for your injuries.

Since deadlines can vary by state and situation, it's best to consult with a personal injury attorney as soon as possible after the incident to understand the specific timeline for your case. An attorney can help ensure your claim is filed correctly and on time.

Morgan & Morgan’s Nevada attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, meaning there are no upfront fees or expenses until your case comes to a successful conclusion. That’s right—the Fee Is Free™, and you only pay if we win.

Compensation from a personal injury case may vary widely depending on the specifics of your case, but generally, it may include:

Medical Expenses

You could recover the costs of medical treatment related to your injury, including hospital bills, doctor visits, surgery, physical therapy, prescription medications, and any future medical care you may need.

Lost Wages

If your injury has prevented you from working, you may be entitled to compensation for lost wages. This includes the income you have already missed and any future earnings you may be unable to earn due to your injury.

Pain and Suffering

Compensation for pain and suffering addresses the physical pain and emotional distress caused by your injury. This could include compensation for chronic pain, anxiety, depression, and reduced quality of life.

Property Damage

If the incident damaged your personal property, you may be eligible for compensation to cover the cost of repairs or replacement. This often applies to cases involving car accidents, where vehicle damage is a significant factor.

Loss of Consortium

Sometimes, your spouse or family members may be entitled to compensation for the loss of companionship, support, and services resulting from your injury.

Punitive Damages

In cases where the defendant's actions were particularly egregious or reckless, you might be awarded punitive damages. These are intended to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar behavior in the future.

Disability and Disfigurement

If your injury has resulted in a long-term or permanent disability or disfigurement, you may be entitled to compensation for the impact on your ability to work and perform everyday activities, as well as the emotional toll of such changes.

Other Related Expenses

You may also recover other expenses related to your injury, such as transportation costs for medical appointments, home modifications needed to accommodate a disability, and the cost of assistive devices like wheelchairs.

Every case is unique, and the specific compensation you may recover will depend on the circumstances of your injury and the extent of your damages. At Morgan & Morgan, our experienced attorneys will thoroughly assess your case and fight to ensure you receive the full compensation you deserve.

After you submit your personal injury claim in Nevada, the insurance company for the at-fault party will review it. The insurer will assign a claims adjuster to your case, who will investigate the accident details, review documentation, and evaluate the extent of your injuries. The adjuster may collect evidence such as police reports, medical records, witness statements, and other relevant information to assess liability and damages.

The insurance company will thoroughly review all submitted documentation, including medical records, accident reports, and any other evidence. To better understand the incident, they may contact witnesses, seek expert opinions, or even conduct site visits.

After gathering evidence, the insurance adjuster will evaluate your claim based on a liability assessment and a damage calculation. The insurance company will typically extend a settlement offer based on their evaluation. This offer may be lower than what you expect or require. It is crucial to review it carefully, as it may not fully cover all your damages. If the initial offer is insufficient, your Morgan & Morgan personal injury attorney can negotiate on your behalf to seek a fair settlement that accurately reflects the true value of your claim.

Negotiations can involve back-and-forth communication between your attorney and the insurance adjuster. Your attorney may present a counteroffer based on your assessment of damages, leading to further discussions until a mutually acceptable agreement is reached. You may need to file a lawsuit if negotiations do not lead to a satisfactory settlement.

Many personal injury cases are resolved through settlements before reaching trial. Depending on the facts, settling out of court can be a quicker, less stressful, and more cost-effective way to resolve a case. 

However, whether your case will settle or go to trial depends on several factors, including the strength of the evidence, the willingness of the other party to negotiate, and your own preferences. At Morgan & Morgan, we prepare every case as if it will go to trial to ensure we are ready to fight for the maximum compensation possible. Our attorneys are fully prepared to take your case to court if a fair settlement cannot be reached.

The length of a personal injury lawsuit depends on factors such as case complexity, injury severity, and the parties' willingness to settle. While some cases may be resolved within months, others can take years, particularly if they proceed to trial. 

At Morgan & Morgan, our attorneys work diligently to move your case forward as efficiently as possible while ensuring no corners are cut. We will provide you with an estimated timeline based on the specifics of your case and keep you informed of any changes. To learn more, get a free case evaluation today.
