Protecting Your Future
At Cohan PLLC, we take cases on a contingency fee basis. This means you only pay us if we win your case. You have no upfront payment, bills, or invoices. We cover everything so you can focus on what matters most – recovering from your injuries.
Your case’s worth depends on your losses and the severity of your injuries. The total value of your medical bills, lost wages, lost future income, and future treatment costs make up some of your case’s value. You may also recover compensation for your pain and suffering and the emotional trauma related to your injuries.
Individuals with catastrophic injuries may also recover compensation for their loss of quality of life, such as loss of consortium (intimacy with spouses or partners). The easiest way to determine the value of your claim is to speak with our team during a free consultation.
Your Rights After an Accident
Negligence-based injuries can cause overwhelming confusion and stress. Clients often come to us because they don’t know what to do next.
You may have questions, such as:
- Do you have a claim against anyone?
- How much can you recover?
- How can you afford a funeral in the wake of a wrongful death?
- How can you get the body of your deceased loved one back to your home area?
- How do you keep your family stable in the face of huge medical expenses?
To help you during this critical time, we have compiled commonly asked questions with general answers.
What Do I Do If I'm Not Getting the Best Care?
Your healthcare provider is an expert in their field. However, you have spent a lifetime in your body. Thus, you're also an expert on your health. You have a right to play an active role in your care. Doing so can help you achieve better health outcomes.
You may need to switch doctors if you feel you are not receiving the care you deserve. It is essential to have a doctor who will listen to your concerns and help improve your medical conditions. A doctor chosen by your employer or an insurance adjuster may not have your best interests at heart.
Do not settle for a doctor who does not listen to your problems—find a medical provider who will. We can help you determine the most qualified doctor to treat your injuries.
What If an Insurer or My Employer Wants Me to Sign an Agreement?
After an accident, your employer or insurance company aims to limit how much they must pay. One tactic they use is pressuring you to immediately sign an agreement or a release in exchange for a small amount of money.
You should never sign anything without talking to us. Insurance companies are notorious for trying to pay you the least amount possible. They will also require you to relinquish your future legal rights when you accept their quick and low settlements.
For this reason, you must retain legal representation immediately after being involved in a personal injury accident. You should not sign anything or give statements before consulting with an injury attorney. We can help you avoid jeopardizing your case.

Filing an Injury Claim
Filing an injury claim can be daunting, but understanding the steps involved can simplify the journey toward recovery. The first step is to gather all relevant information about the accident, including incident reports, medical records, and any evidence that supports your claim. Documenting your injuries and treatment thoroughly is vital, as this information will establish the extent of your damages.
Next, you’ll need to file a claim with the appropriate insurance company, which may be your own or that of the liable party. Be prepared to provide a detailed account of the accident and your injuries.
If negotiations with the insurance company are unsatisfactory, filing a lawsuit may be necessary to seek compensation. Our skilled trial lawyer can guide you through each stage, protecting your rights and effectively presenting your claim.
The statute of limitations for Nevada personal injury claims is generally two years from the date of the injury. You have two years to file a lawsuit seeking compensation, so acting promptly is crucial to preserve your legal options.
Timelines for Settling Personal Injury Claims
Understanding the timelines for settling personal injury claims can help set your expectations. Generally, the length of time it takes to resolve a claim can vary significantly depending on the complexity of your case, the severity of your injuries, and the willingness of the parties to negotiate a fair settlement.
Typically, minor injury claims may take a few weeks to several months to settle, particularly if the parties reach an agreement through negotiation. However, more complex cases, such as those involving significant injuries or disputes about liability, can take several months to even years to resolve.
It’s crucial to consider various factors that can influence this timeline, including the need for extensive medical treatment, the collection of evidence, and potential discovery processes if a lawsuit is filed.
While we strive to settle cases promptly, our primary goal is to achieve the best possible outcome. We can keep you informed at every stage and work diligently to expedite the process as much as possible while protecting your rights and advancing your best interests.
