AWARD-WINNING CAR ACCIDENT ATTORNEYS
Getting hurt in a sudden wreck can flip your entire world upside down in a fraction of a second. The physical pain from your injury, the stress of missing work, and the endless medical bills can quickly pile up, leaving you wondering how you are going to cover all these new expenses. You did not ask to be put in this position, yet you are the one dealing with the painful aftermath while trying to figure out how to make things right.
At Friedman Injury Law, we know how overwhelming this period is for you and your family, which is why our founder, Blake Friedman, works tirelessly to make sure the person who hit you pays for the damage they caused.
When you are trying to recover from a serious crash in the Las Vegas valley, you should not have to fight a massive insurance company all by yourself. The insurance adjusters will do everything they can to save their company money, often by offering you a low settlement or trying to blame you for the wreck. Blake Friedman is a Las Vegas native who understands how local courts work and knows the games insurance companies like to play with injured victims. With over $100 million in settlements recovered for our clients and more than 400 5-star reviews, our law firm has the experience needed to handle your case while you focus entirely on your physical recovery.
How Our Las Vegas Injury Law Firm Handles Your Case
At Friedman Injury Law, our primary goal is to take the heavy burden of a legal claim off your shoulders so you can spend your time resting and healing. When you hire a Las Vegas car accident lawyer from our office, we immediately step in to manage all communications, gather key evidence, and build a strong claim on your behalf. We treat every single client with the respect and personal attention they deserve because we know this is one of the most stressful times of your life.
We Protect You From Insurance Company Tactics
Insurance adjusters often sound friendly on the phone, but their main job is to pay you as little money as possible. They might ask you to give a recorded statement right after your wreck, hoping you will say something that hurts your claim before you even know the full extent of your injuries. When you work with an attorney at our firm, we handle all the phone calls, emails, and paperwork so the insurance company cannot trick you or pressure you into taking a bad deal.
You Pay No Fees Unless We Win Your Money
We operate on a contingency fee basis, which means taking legal action carries zero financial risk for you or your family. We pay for all the upfront filing fees, crash investigations, and court costs required to build a strong case. If we do not win a financial settlement or court verdict for your injury claim, you do not owe us a single dollar for our work.
Pursuing Maximum Compensation For Your Wreck
An insurance adjuster will usually offer a quick payout that barely covers your initial emergency room visit, completely ignoring your future medical care or lost wages. Our team carefully looks at every single way this crash has harmed your life, including your physical pain, emotional distress, and lost income, so we can go after the maximum amount of money available under Nevada law.
What To Do After Getting Injured In A Las Vegas Crash
The moments right after a wreck can feel chaotic and confusing, but the steps you take immediately following a crash play a huge role in protecting your physical health and your legal rights.
- Call the police right away so an officer can come to the scene, assess what happened, and create an official police report.
- Take photos and videos of all vehicle damage, visible injuries, skid marks, traffic signals, and weather conditions if you are physically able to do so.
- Get checked out by a doctor or go to an emergency room immediately, even if you feel okay, because adrenaline can hide serious pain and hidden internal harm.
- Follow your doctor’s treatment plan carefully, including going to physical therapy, taking prescribed medications, and seeing any specialists they recommend.
- Request a copy of your police report from the local law enforcement agency as soon as it becomes available for your records.
- Speak with a car accident lawyer before you talk to any insurance adjusters or sign any settlement paperwork.
- Report the crash to your own insurance provider with basic details like the location and time, but do not give detailed recorded statements without an attorney present.
- Avoid posting anything about your crash, your daily activities, or your medical treatment on social media platforms while your claim is active.
When You Need To Speak With A Las Vegas Car Accident Attorney
If you were involved in a minor fender bender with no injuries and barely any vehicle damage, you might be able to handle the insurance claim on your own. However, if you suffered an injury, missed work, or are facing mounting medical bills, speaking with an attorney as soon as possible is the best way to protect yourself.
Insurance companies move fast to settle claims for as little as possible before you realize how much your medical care will actually cost over time. Once you sign a release form and accept their check, you give up your right to ask for any more money, even if your injuries end up needing surgery down the road. You should definitely hire a lawyer if:
- You suffered severe physical injuries that require ongoing medical care
- The crash resulted in the tragic loss of a loved one
- The other driver is lying about what happened or denying they caused the crash
- The insurance company offers you a settlement that does not cover all your bills
- You are unsure about how Nevada laws apply to your specific situation

What Compensation Can You Recover After a Car Accident?
The financial losses caused by a severe crash usually fall into two main categories: economic damages and non-economic damages.
Economic Damages
Cover financial losses, including:
- Medical expenses, both current and future
- Lost wages if you cannot work while you recover
- Damage to your vehicle or other property
- Out-of-pocket expenses related to the accident
Non-Economic Damages
Cover harder-to-measure losses, such as:
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Disfigurement or scarring
Punitive Damages
may apply if the other driver acted with gross negligence or extreme misconduct, such as drunk driving.
Proving Fault Under Nevada Law
To get compensation after a crash in Las Vegas, your lawyer must show that the other driver was careless and directly caused your injuries. In legal terms, this basic idea is called negligence, and proving it requires establishing four clear elements.
Duty of Care
Every person who gets behind the wheel of a car in Nevada has a legal duty to drive safely and follow traffic laws to keep others safe. This includes stopping at red lights, watching for pedestrians, obeying speed limits, and staying focused on the road.
Breach of Duty
A driver breaches their duty of care when they fail to act like a safe, reasonable person would under the same circumstances. Running a stop sign, texting while driving, or tailgating the car in front of you are clear examples of a driver breaking this legal duty.
Injuries Caused By The Crash
Your lawyer must prove that your physical pain and medical conditions were directly caused by the wreck itself rather than a pre-existing medical issue. Insurance adjusters always search through old medical records to argue that your back pain or neck issues were already there before the crash occurred.
Real Losses Caused By The Incident
Finally, you must show that you suffered actual harm as a result of the driver’s actions. This is shown using concrete documentation like medical bills, pay stubs showing missed work days, and vehicle repair estimates.
How Nevada Comparative Fault Laws Impact Your Claim
Nevada follows a modified comparative negligence rule under NRS 41.141, which determines how money is awarded if more than one person shared blame for a crash. Under this statute, you can still recover money for your injuries as long as you were not more than 50 percent at fault for the incident.
If you are found to be partially at fault for the crash, the total amount of settlement money you receive will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if a judge or jury decides your total damages are $100,000, but they find you were 10 percent at fault because you were driving slightly over the speed limit, your final payout would be reduced by 10 percent to $90,000. If an insurance company tries to claim you were 51 percent or more at fault, you will be blocked from recovering any money at all, which is why having an attorney to fight back against unfair blame is so important.
