WHAT IS A LAS VEGAS PERSONAL INJURY LAWYER? SHOULD I HIRE ONE?
Las Vegas personal injury lawyers represent people who have been hurt by other people’s negligence. With a personal injury lawyer, people who’ve been injured or lost a loved one are much more likely to recover their losses, including medical costs, lost wages, and more. If you’ve been hurt, you owe it to yourself to call an attorney to hear your legal options.
WHAT KIND OF CASES DO LAS VEGAS PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEYS HANDLE?
Las Vegas personal injury attorneys handle cases where someone is injured due to another party’s negligence, poor judgment, or recklessness. That includes virtually any accident, from car crashes to slip and falls to faulty products to a wrongful death at a construction site. Different injury attorneys in Las Vegas typically focus on a particular type of accident, but the best attorneys handle every kind of case.
WHAT IF I CAN’T AFFORD A LAS VEGAS PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY?
Our Las Vegas injury law firm takes cases on a contingency fee basis, which essentially means our clients only pay us if we win their case. There’s no upfront payment, bills, or invoices. We cover everything so our clients can focus on what matters most – getting better.
HOW MUCH IS MY LAS VEGAS PERSONAL INJURY CASE WORTH?
Your case’s worth depends on the losses you’ve suffered as a result of your injuries, as well as the severity of the injuries. The total value of your medical bills, lost wages, lost future income, and future treatment costs will make up at least some of your case’s worth. People with life-altering injuries can also add the cost of their loss of quality of life, like physical pain or loss of consortium. The easiest way to determine the value of your personal injury claim is by speaking with our team during a free consultation.
WHAT CLASSIFIES AS A CATASTROPHIC INJURY?
Legally and medically, a catastrophic injury is one that permanently impaired a person’s cognitive function or mobility. One of the hallmarks is diminished quality of life. Aside from that, a catastrophic injury can be almost anything: traumatic hearing loss, amputation, brain damage, loss of respiratory function, or other long-term impairment.
WILL I GO TO COURT?
There’s no guarantee that your case will make it all the way to trial, and that’s okay. If your case doesn’t go to trial, that means your opponent offered a settlement that compensates you for everything you’ve lost. Most injury cases are settled out of court. We’ve settled countless cases only days before trial. This is because we’ll never accept a settlement unless we’re convinced it’s what our clients deserve.
WHY HIRE A LAS VEGAS PERSONAL INJURY LAWYER WHO TRIES CASES?
Having a Las Vegas personal injury attorney who is able to take cases to trial offers plaintiffs more leverage during settlement negotiations. Most lawyers don’t spend much time in courtrooms, so defendants often have little to fear if they end up going to court. This discourages settlements or makes settlements smaller as a result. However, when a lawyer has a history of courtroom success, it incentivizes opponents to settle faster and for larger amounts.
