The Process For Personal Injury Claims
When we handle a personal injury claim in Boulder City, our process is designed to build the strongest case possible. It starts with a free consultation where we learn about your injuries and the circumstances of your accident. From there, Friedman Injury Law works to gather every piece of evidence needed to prove your case, including photographs, medical bills, and witness statements. We also calculate the full extent of your damages, considering medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering. After compiling all the necessary documentation, we present a demand to the responsible party’s insurance company. In many cases, we are able to negotiate a fair settlement, but if that doesn’t happen, we’re fully prepared to take your case to trial. Our approach ensures that every detail is addressed so you can focus on recovering while we fight for the compensation you deserve.
What Is My Personal Injury Case Worth?
Every case is different. Some clients recover a few thousand dollars. Others recover hundreds of thousands or even more. The value of your case depends on:
- The severity of your injuries
- Whether your injuries are permanent
- The amount of your medical bills
- How much work you missed (and might miss in the future)
- Whether your daily life has changed because of the injury
We also look at how your injuries have affected your mental health and relationships. Once we understand the full impact, we fight to get compensation that reflects everything you’ve gone through.
What Damages Can You Recover?
There are two main types of damages in Nevada: compensatory and punitive.
Compensatory Damages
These cover the losses you’ve suffered. This includes:
- Medical bills (past and future)
- Physical therapy or rehab costs
- Property damage
- Lost wages or job benefits
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Loss of companionship or support
Punitive Damages
These are rare. Courts may award punitive damages if the other person acted in a truly reckless or harmful way. For example, if someone caused your injury on purpose or while extremely intoxicated.
Most cases involve compensatory damages only, but we’ll explore every angle of your case.
What You Need to Prove to Win Your Case
To win a personal injury case, we have to show that:
- The other party owed you a duty of care (like driving safely or keeping their property safe)
- They failed to meet that duty (for example, by speeding or leaving a hazard)
- That failure caused your injury
- You suffered damages as a result
We use medical records, police reports, witness testimony, and expert opinions to help prove your claim.
What if You Were Partly at Fault?
Nevada uses a rule called modified comparative negligence. This means you can still recover money even if you were partly responsible for the accident, as long as you were not more than 50% at fault.
Here’s an example: Let’s say your damages total $100,000, but you’re found to be 20% responsible for what happened. You could still recover $80,000.
If you’re more than 50% at fault, though, you may not be able to recover anything. That’s why it’s important to have a lawyer who can push back if someone tries to blame you unfairly.
How Long Do You Have to File a Claim?
In Nevada, the general deadline to file a personal injury lawsuit is 2 years from the date of the injury. This is called the statute of limitations.
If you miss this deadline, you may lose your right to seek compensation.
Some cases have shorter or longer deadlines, depending on who was involved (like if a government agency was at fault). That’s why it’s best to talk to us as soon as you can after the injury.
