How Our Henderson Personal Injury Attorneys Can Help You
When you’re recovering from an injury, the last thing you want is to deal with paperwork, phone calls, and insurance adjusters. Our job is to take that burden off your shoulders so you can focus on healing.
Here’s what we do when we take your case:
- Investigate the accident – We dig deep to find out what happened and who was at fault. This includes collecting photos and videos, reviewing accident reports, and visiting the scene.
- Talk to witnesses – We speak to anyone who saw the accident to build a strong case.
- Gather evidence – We collect medical records, doctor’s notes, and proof of lost wages to support your claim.
- Work with experts – In complex cases, we bring in medical professionals, accident reconstruction experts, or financial planners to help show how the accident affected your life.
- Handle the insurance company – We deal with adjusters and fight back when they offer lowball settlements.
- Go to court if needed – If the insurance company won’t offer a fair amount, we’re ready to take your case to trial.

How Much Is My Personal Injury Case Worth?
Many people want to know how much their case is worth. The answer depends on a few different things, including:
- The severity of your injuries – More serious injuries usually mean more compensation.
- Your medical costs – This includes hospital bills, doctor visits, physical therapy, medication, and long-term care.
- Lost income – If you had to miss work, you may be able to recover those lost wages. If you can’t return to work at all, we’ll factor in future earnings too.
- Pain and suffering – This covers the physical pain and emotional stress you’ve been through.
- Impact on your daily life – If you can no longer enjoy hobbies, take care of your family, or live independently, that should be considered too.
We’ll sit down with you, look at all the facts, and give you a clear picture of what your case may be worth.
What Kind of Compensation Can I Recover?
Nevada law allows personal injury victims to recover economic and non-economic damages. In some cases, punitive damages may also be available.
Here’s a breakdown:
Economic Damages – These are financial losses, such as:
- Medical expenses
- Future medical costs
- Lost wages
- Reduced earning ability
- Property damage (like car repairs)
Non-Economic Damages – These cover things like:
- Physical pain
- Emotional distress
- Mental anguish
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Scarring or disfigurement
- Loss of companionship (in wrongful death cases)
Punitive Damages – These are less common but may be awarded in cases where the other person acted recklessly or with intent to harm—like drunk driving or abuse.
We work to make sure all your damages are accounted for before we make a demand or go to court.
What If I Was Partly at Fault?
If you were partly to blame for the accident, you may still be able to get money under Nevada’s comparative negligence rule. As long as you’re less than 51% at fault, you can recover compensation.
However, your award will be reduced based on your share of the blame. So if you were 20% at fault and your total damages were $100,000, you could still receive $80,000.
Insurance companies love to use this rule to reduce how much they pay. We push back with solid evidence to keep you from being unfairly blamed.
What Is the Time Limit to File a Personal Injury Lawsuit in Nevada?
In most cases, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit in Nevada. This time limit is known as the statute of limitations.
There are some exceptions. For example:
- If the injury involves a government agency, you may have less time
- If the victim is a child, the clock may be paused until they turn 18
Waiting too long to act could mean losing your right to compensation. That’s why it’s important to contact a lawyer as soon as possible after an injury.
How Do I Prove Someone Else Was Negligent?
To win your case, we’ll need to prove that the other party was negligent. That means they:
- Had a duty of care – Like a driver following traffic laws or a store keeping floors safe.
- Broke that duty – They acted carelessly or didn’t fix a known hazard.
- Caused your injuries – There must be a link between what they did and how you were hurt.
- Caused you to suffer damages – You must have medical bills, pain, or lost income.
We gather all the evidence needed to prove your case and protect your right to recover.
