The Statute of Limitations in Nevada

Do not wait to get legal help. In Nevada, you typically have two years to file a personal injury lawsuit, according to NRS §11.190(4)(e). The sooner you hire a lawyer, the sooner they can get started on your case for financial recovery.

Receiving Compensation

After an auto accident that another party caused, you may be eligible to receive compensation for the following economic and non-economic damages:

  • Past and future pain and suffering
  • Lost wages
  • Future loss of earning capacity
  • Disability
  • Medical care
  • Ongoing lifecare costs
  • Funeral and burial costs if a loved one passed away due to the crash

We have obtained hundreds of millions of dollars for clients, and we will tirelessly fight for the settlement or court award you are entitled to.

The Four Elements of Negligence

For a personal injury case to be successful, it must be supported by the four tenets of negligence:

Duty of Care

The other driver in your car accident owed you a duty of care. Drivers are expected to drive safely and adequately maintain their vehicles. We cannot afford to let ourselves get distracted by our phones, and we certainly cannot drive under the influence of any substance.

Breach of Duty of Care

The other driver breached their duty of care to you and other motorists by acting negligently in some way, which caused an accident.

Causation

The other driver’s breach of duty of care led to your injuries and possible damage to your vehicle.

Damages

Since you suffered injuries and possible vehicle damage due to this preventable accident, financial compensation can provide relief. If another party is responsible for your car accident, you should not have to bear the costs of restoring your losses. The negligent party should pay for any treatment you need as well as any repairs to your vehicle if necessary, not you.

You have endured enough, and we can handle filing your claim and potential lawsuit.

How a Lawyer Will Work for You

When another driver strikes you, causing an accident, one of the first steps we take afterward is contacting the other party’s insurance company. As personal injury lawyers, we are familiar with communicating with insurance companies and know the tactics they use to devalue victims’ claims and downplay their injuries in order to pay them less.

We will speak with the other driver’s insurance company, assuming they are covered, and negotiate for a sufficient settlement on your behalf. If the insurance adjuster is rigid and refuses to pay you what you deserve, we can litigate the case. We will continue the fight for justice and fair compensation for you in court if we need to.

Gathering Evidence

A Sunrise Manor car accident lawyer will also gather any evidence they can, including photographs and videos. They can also obtain medical records and bills, and if hiring a medical expert and an accident reconstructionist can strengthen your case, we will not hesitate to do so. A medical expert can explain how your injuries will impact your life in the long run, and an accident reconstructionist can illustrate the accident and solve the questions of how and why it happened.

We can also speak with eyewitnesses to the accident if you took down contact information at the scene to collect relevant information from them to help your case. We will also calculate your damages, organize all documentation, and make sure to file your claim and possible lawsuit on time.
