Who is liable for my accident injury?

An injury or accident can make it tough to determine who’s at fault for your suffering. You may not remember the accident at all, or multiple people may have been involved. In other situations, you may have been the only person involved. So who’s responsible for your suffering?

The question of liability can be complex, especially if you don’t have a Las Vegas injury lawyer on your side. Responsibility can depend on what type of accident you’ve had. For example, if you were injured in a car accident, many people could possibly be at fault. Another driver may have been careless, someone’s employer may be financially responsible for the accident, or it may have been a matter of a defective part.

If you’re unsure who’s at fault for your losses, our lawyers may be able to help. We have the tools to help you gather evidence against the at-fault party and file a claim against them.

How much compensation can I expect to receive?

When you’re hurt, you may be overwhelmed by the losses you’ve suffered because of the accident. These losses, also called damages, can affect every part of your life, making it difficult to overcome the suffering you’ve experienced. Here’s the good news – you have a chance to seek compensation with the help of a Las Vegas injury lawyer. If you’re not sure what your personal injury or wrongful death claim is worth, call us about your damages and how to calculate them.

What are financial damages for personal injuries?

When you’ve been in an accident like a dog bite, you may first be struck by the costs of your financial recovery. Your car is totaled. Your health is ruined. Your job is not an option. You may have lost thousands or more because of this single accident.

Your personal injury lawyer can help you recover money for those losses. For example, your lawyer can total up your bills for property damage, medical bills and lost wages. We can also estimate the costs of your losses in the future. For example, you may need future surgeries because of your injuries, and your compensation should reflect that.

How do I file a claim for pain and suffering?

Your suffering doesn’t begin and end with your financial losses. You may have also suffered mental and emotional trauma that won’t go away easily. You may even have nightmares, anxiety or physical pain because of your injuries.

It’s not easy to seek compensation for these noneconomic damages because they don’t have a specific price tag attached to them. You know exactly what your medical bills cost, but how do you put a price on your emotional trauma? We can help you find what your damages are worth. We have the specific tools and resources you need to determine how much you lost because of the accident.

Can you help me seek punitive damages?

Punitive damages aren’t as common as compensatory damages, like those above. These damages are only awarded when the person at fault was acting with wanton disregard for safety or harmed you on purpose. These damages are supposed to punish and prevent further wrongdoing, not to cover your losses.

If you believe you’re due punitive damages, though, we can help. We can determine your claim’s total worth and help you pursue these losses, too.

My child was injured. Can I sue on their behalf?

It’s difficult enough to sue when you’re hurt yourself, but when your child is injured? It can be devastating and overwhelming. Nevada’s courts allow guardians and lawyers to act on behalf of an injured child, with the approval of the judge. If you choose not to act now, don’t worry – your child’s time limits to file a claim won’t start until they’re legally considered an adult.

How much time do I have to file a lawsuit in Nevada?

When you’re hurt in an accident, you may not have much time to act on your claim. Nevada residents only have two years to act on their personal injury claims. If you fail to seek compensation within those two years, your claim will be dismissed. That means you may not have a chance to get compensated for your suffering.

Instead of waiting, reach out to a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible. We can help you act on time to get the compensation you’re due.

I think I was partly responsible for my injuries. Can I still sue?

Yes, even those who may have been negligent can still sue. Keep in mind, however, that admitting fault could hurt your compensation. If you’re more than 50% at fault, you could lose your compensation completely. Talk to our personal injury lawyers if you’re concerned about your part in your personal injury claim.

What if I lost a loved one because someone was careless?

A death in the family can be devastating, both emotionally and financially. You’ve lost someone important to you, but you may have also lost a breadwinner for your household. We can help you sue for these losses, so you can focus on the grieving process, not just your compensation.

How can a personal injury lawyer help me?

When you’re hurt and suffering, it’s difficult to focus on anything else. Worse, you may not have courtroom experience, which makes your claim more difficult for you. Your personal injury lawyer is here to make that easier. We can represent you so you have a stronger chance to get the compensation you need for your recovery.
