Personal Injury Attorneys Answer FAQs About Filing Claims in Nevada

Is Hiring a Personal Injury Attorney Expensive?

The services of an injury lawyer come at practically no risk at all, since most only collect a fee if they prevail in your case. If they don't, you pay nothing, but any settlement they do negotiate will almost certainly be higher than what you would have gotten alone.

How Can I Tell What My Injuries Are Worth?

Arriving at an accurate valuation of your injuries usually requires legal expertise and extensive documentation. In general, you'll be eligible to collect compensation for medical expenses and lost wages, and you may also be compensated for pain and suffering as well as other non-economic damages.

How Long Will It Take?

Personal injury cases are complex, and the outcome depends on the circumstances of your injury and how cooperative the insurance company is. Some cases are settled in a matter of weeks, while others can take years.

Should I Talk to the Insurance Company First?

No. The insurance adjuster's primary responsibility is to make sure you get as little money as possible, and statements you make can be used against you. If the insurance company wants to talk to you, insist that they do so in the presence of your lawyer.
