Personal Injury Questions, Answered Plainly

Nothing up front. We work on contingency, which means our fee comes out of the recovery we win for you. If we do not recover compensation, you owe us no attorney fee at all.

You may still recover. Nevada follows a modified comparative negligence rule: as long as you are found 50% or less at fault, you can recover damages, reduced by your share of fault. Do not assume you have no case — let us review it.

Nevada’s statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of the injury. Some claims — such as those against a government entity — have far shorter deadlines. Call us early so no deadline is missed.

Talk to us before you sign anything. First offers are routinely made before the full extent of your injuries and future medical costs is known, and accepting one usually closes your claim permanently.

Yes. We run a dedicated Korean Accident Resource Center and can handle your case in Korean from the first call through settlement — 한국어 상담 가능합니다. We also speak Spanish. See our 한국어 페이지.

Yes — ask about our traffic ticket service, starting as low as $50. In most cases we can eliminate the points and keep your record clean: no court appearance, no traffic school, no waiting in line, and no insurance increase.

Yes. Our home court is Las Vegas and Clark County, but we accept injury cases from anywhere in the United States — working with trusted co-counsel in other states when a matter needs local licensure. Start with the same free call.

Yes. This is a boutique firm by design. Your case is not passed to a call center or a rotating cast of case managers — you will know who is handling your file and how to reach them.

If you were not hurt and there is only cosmetic damage, often no. But 'minor' crashes routinely produce soft-tissue injuries that surface days later, and once you accept a settlement the claim is closed permanently. A free consultation costs you nothing and tells you which situation you are in.

You may still recover through the uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage on your own policy. Nevada insurers must offer UM coverage, and many drivers carry it without realising. We review your declarations page as part of the free consultation.

It depends mostly on your medical treatment. We do not send a demand until doctors know the full extent of your injuries, because that number is what the claim is worth. Straightforward cases can resolve in a few months; cases that require filing suit take longer.

Often both, and sometimes others as well. Under respondeat superior a carrier is generally responsible for its driver acting in the course of employment, and the company may also be directly liable for how it hired, trained, scheduled or maintained. Identifying every responsible party is a large part of the work.

Because the most valuable evidence is electronic and is overwritten on a routine cycle - logging device data, telematics and camera footage can disappear within days or weeks. A preservation demand has to reach the carrier before that happens.

Be careful. A commercial insurer's adjuster may contact you within a day of the crash, often sounding helpful. You are not obliged to give a recorded statement, and doing so before you know the extent of your injuries rarely helps you.

No. Nevada requires helmets, and not wearing one can reduce recovery for head injuries a helmet would have prevented - but it does not bar a claim, and it has no bearing on injuries to the rest of your body or on who caused the crash.

It generally helps you. Drivers have a duty to keep a proper lookout and to yield before turning across traffic. 'I didn't see the motorcycle' describes a failure to look, which is the negligence itself.

First offers on motorcycle claims are routinely low, particularly on the vehicle and gear. Do not accept before your medical picture is complete - once you settle, the claim closes for good, including future treatment.

That is the standard opening argument, and Nevada's comparative negligence rule means it matters only up to a point - if you are 50% or less at fault you can still recover, reduced by your share. It is an argument to answer with evidence, not a reason to walk away.

Possibly. Photos help enormously, but they are not the only evidence - surveillance footage, incident reports, sweep logs and witness accounts can all establish the hazard. The sooner someone demands those records, the better your odds.

Immediately, regardless of the two-year filing deadline. Surveillance video is the difference-maker in most premises cases and it is routinely overwritten within weeks.

As a passenger you are essentially never at fault, and the rideshare company's $1 million liability coverage generally applies while a ride is in progress. Whether the rideshare insurer or the other driver's insurer ultimately pays is their argument to have, not yours.

Then it is an ordinary car accident claim against their personal auto policy, and the rideshare company's coverage does not apply. Establishing app status is exactly why the trip and status records need to be preserved early.

Usually not. Most rideshare claims are resolved with the insurer that carries the applicable policy rather than through a suit against the company itself. What matters is identifying the right coverage and documenting the driver's status at impact.

Possibly. Crossing outside a crosswalk can assign you some share of fault, but drivers still have a duty to keep a proper lookout and avoid a collision they could reasonably have avoided. Under Nevada's comparative negligence rule you can recover if you are 50% or less at fault.

You may still be able to recover through the uninsured motorist coverage on your own auto policy, which generally protects you when you are struck as a pedestrian - and sometimes through a household member's policy. We review the available coverage at no cost.

Often medical payments coverage, health insurance, or treatment on a lien arranged through us, with reimbursement handled out of the eventual recovery. Part of our job at the end of a case is negotiating those balances down so more of the settlement reaches you.
