If you got hurt in a car accident in North Las Vegas, Nevada, we can negotiate directly with the at-fault driver’s insurance company to try to settle your injury claim. When appropriate, we can file a lawsuit on your behalf. We might even be able to pursue damages for legal beneficiaries if your close relative passed because of a car accident.

We do not charge upfront legal fees to our car accident clients. We handle these cases on a contingency-fee-basis. That means that we do not get paid our North Las Vegas car accident attorney’s fees unless we win your case. Payment for our services comes out of your insurance settlement or court award.

We are happy to offer a free initial consultation to prospective clients. There is no obligation. You can call us today at (702) 444-3228 to get started.

How We Hold the At-Fault Party Liable for Your Losses

We have to jump through some hoops before we can hold the at-fault party legally responsible for your damages. Merely being involved in a crash is not enough to make someone else pay for your losses. After we prove all four of the following factors, we can recover compensation on your behalf:

  • Duty of care. The other party must have had a legal duty of care toward you. Everyone who operates a motor vehicle must uphold the rules of the road.
  • Breach of duty of care. Your lawyer must prove that the other party’s conduct did not meet the legal standard. Let’s say that the other party drove while impaired by alcohol. Drunk driving violates one’s duty of care because it puts others at risk of harm.
  • You must prove that the other party’s negligence caused or contributed to the accident and your injuries.
  • Quantifiable losses. You need to have financial, physical, or emotional losses to pursue compensation for your injuries following a car crash.

After we prove all four of these factors, we can seek monetary damages from the liable party. We understand that some of these legal concepts can be complicated, but you do not need to worry. A North Las Vegas car accident lawyer at High Stakes Injury Law can answer your questions and evaluate your injury claim.

Three Things to Do After a Car Accident in North Las Vegas

The things that you do after your collision could affect the amount of money you can receive. Some innocent mistakes could invalidate your entire case.

Here are a few steps that you might want to take after getting hurt in a car crash:

Complete Your Medical Treatment

Having surgery and months of physical therapy to treat your injuries can be painful and inconvenient. If, however, you do not complete all of the treatment your doctor prescribed, the other party could argue that you should get less money for your damages.

The at-fault driver could say that you might have recuperated better if you had finished your treatment plan. They might argue that because you did not follow your doctor’s orders, you made your condition worse.

Of course, if there is a sound reason for you to pause or discontinue treatment

(like an allergic reaction to a prescribed drug), you should contact your doctor immediately. Your doctor may be able to order a substitute treatment.

Statute of Limitations

Under NRS §11.190(4)(e), you only have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit for compensation. Working with a North Las Vegas personal injury lawyer from the beginning of your claim can help you file your case in a timely manner. If you miss the deadline, the law will bar you from pursuing compensation.

The insurance claims adjuster knows about the state’s statute of limitations. An unscrupulous adjuster might drag out negotiations, particularly if you do not have a lawyer handling your case. As soon as the deadline passes, the adjuster may stop taking your phone calls and answering your emails.

From this point, you would be unable to pursue compensation for your losses via a lawsuit.

Stay Off of Social Media

While your claim is active, you should not post anything on social media. Even things unrelated to the accident or your injuries could come back to haunt you.

The other party’s insurance company can get access to your social media accounts and scroll through your posts. When the claims adjuster does this, they can take your words and photographs out of context.

Your personal injury lawyer can advise you on how to avoid these and other pitfalls. The sooner that you talk to an attorney, the better.
