There are typically two ways a driver can recover compensation (given they are entitled to it) after being injured in a car wreck—the first deals with the insurance company, and the second deals with the courts.
Insurance companies are expected to cover certain expenses that arise as a result of an accident and do so in a timely manner. Unlike some states requiring drivers to file a claim with their own carrier, Nevada follows a fault-based system. This means that any driver who causes an accident may be liable for covering the damage and harm they cause.
Therefore, if another driver was responsible for causing the accident you were involved in, you can file an insurance claim with their carrier. This is a third-party claim (since you are filing it under an insurance policy other than your own). It is worth noting that fault can sometimes be difficult to determine after a car crash.
A Spring Valley car accident lawyer can help establish who the liable party is in your case.
It is also important for you to understand that the insurance company is only required to pay you up to the limits the policyholder has purchased, given you have a valid claim and are entitled to compensation. According to the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles, Nevada requires all drivers to carry the following types of coverages:
Let’s say your injuries and/or losses amount to more than the minimum amounts stipulated above, and the driver is only carrying these coverages. When this happens, you may want to consider filing a personal injury lawsuit against them. Personal injury lawsuits are generally filed when:
If you decide to bring a personal injury lawsuit against the driver who hit you, you will need to prove that they were negligent and that their careless or reckless behavior is what caused you to suffer injuries. The process of filing a lawsuit against a driver is much different than filing an insurance claim, so you will need to be aware of the laws that apply to your case. One of those laws pertains to the statute of limitations.
According to NRS §11.190(4)(e), most personal injury lawsuits must be filed within two years from the incident’s date. Because most individuals are unaware of the laws that govern their case and how they can be applied, they choose to retain a lawyer to represent them. If you are interested in receiving a case evaluation to determine if you have the grounds to sue another driver involved in your accident, contact High Stakes Injury Law.
After an accident, you may be entitled to recover compensation for the following damages:
