Your Injury Questions, Answered.

It means exactly that: you pay no attorney fees unless we recover money for you. We work on a contingency fee — our fee is a pre-agreed percentage of the settlement or verdict we win, and it only comes out of that recovery. If we don't win your case, you owe us nothing in attorney fees. There is never an upfront cost or hourly bill, and your first consultation is always free. This lets you hire experienced representation with zero financial risk, so the insurance company can't outspend you. We'll put the exact fee percentage in writing before you sign anything, so there are no surprises.

As soon as you submit the quick evaluation, your details go straight to our intake team. A member of our firm reaches out — usually within hours, and often the same day — to schedule your free consultation. We'll listen to what happened, review any documents or photos you have, explain whether you likely have a claim, and lay out your options and next steps. There's no obligation and no pressure. If you'd rather talk right away, you can call us any time at (702) 469-3000. The evaluation is completely confidential.

In Nevada, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit for a crash-related injury, and three years to file for property damage (NRS 11.190). If a loved one died in the crash, the wrongful death deadline is also generally two years. Miss the deadline and the court can permanently bar your claim — no matter how clearly the other driver was at fault. A few narrow exceptions can shorten or extend the clock, so the safest move is to speak with an attorney as early as possible. Even if you're still negotiating with an insurer, that two-year filing deadline keeps running.

An insurance claim is the out-of-court process: we notify the at-fault party's insurer, document your injuries and losses, and negotiate a settlement. Most Nevada cases resolve here, without ever going to court. A lawsuit is the formal court case we file when the insurer won't offer a fair amount, disputes who was at fault, drags its feet, or when the filing deadline is approaching. Filing suit opens up formal deadlines, evidence exchange (discovery), and — if needed — a trial or arbitration. Filing a lawsuit doesn't mean you'll end up in front of a jury; many suits still settle once the insurer sees we're prepared to try the case. We always aim for the fastest fair resolution, and file suit strategically when that's what it takes.

You may still recover. Nevada uses a 'modified comparative negligence' rule (NRS 41.141): as long as you were 50% or less at fault, you can still recover damages — reduced by your share of the blame. For example, if you're found 20% at fault on a $100,000 case, you'd recover $80,000. The catch is the '51% bar': if you're found 51% or more at fault, you recover nothing. That's exactly why insurers try to pin fault on you — and why having an attorney build the liability picture matters so much.

Be careful. The at-fault driver's insurer may sound friendly, but their goal is to pay you as little as possible. You are not required to give a recorded statement, and early statements are often used to minimize or deny your claim. It's usually best to let us communicate with the insurer on your behalf. You should promptly notify your own insurer that an accident occurred, but you don't have to accept a quick settlement offer — those first offers are almost always far below what your claim is worth.

Every case is different. Value depends on the severity of your injuries, your medical bills (current and future), lost income and reduced earning ability, property damage, and the pain and disruption to your daily life. Nevada law lets you recover both economic damages (bills, wages) and non-economic damages (pain and suffering). During your free review, we assess these factors and give you an honest range — no inflated promises. Our recent results include recoveries like $1.2M for a car accident, $2.4M for a truck crash, and $1.8M in a wrongful death case.

It varies from a few weeks to a year or more. The biggest factor is your medical treatment — we typically wait until you've recovered or reached a stable point so we can value your claim accurately, rather than settling before the full extent of your injuries is known. Straightforward claims with clear liability can settle quickly; cases with disputed fault, serious injuries, or a lawsuit take longer. We push to move your case as fast as possible without leaving money on the table, and we keep you updated at every step.

Probably not. The large majority of personal injury cases settle out of court through negotiation. We only file a lawsuit when it's the right move to protect your claim — and even then, most lawsuits settle before trial. If your case does go to trial, we'll prepare you fully and stand beside you the entire way. You'll never face the process alone.

You may still have options. In hit-and-run and uninsured-driver situations, your own uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage can often step in to cover your injuries. We'll review every available policy and, in hit-and-run cases, work with investigators to help identify the at-fault driver. Don't assume you have no recourse — let us look at the details first.

As soon as you can. Evidence like surveillance video, vehicle data, and witness memories fade or disappear fast, and Nevada's filing deadlines start running the day of the crash. Getting an attorney involved early means we can preserve evidence, handle the insurers from day one, and make sure no deadline slips. Calling early costs you nothing — the consultation is free.

We represent injured people across a wide range of personal injury matters, including car accidents, truck and commercial vehicle crashes, motorcycle accidents, rideshare (Uber & Lyft) accidents, pedestrian accidents, slip and fall / premises liability, dog bites, and wrongful death. If you were hurt because of someone else's negligence, start with a free case review and we'll tell you honestly whether you have a claim.
