Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to hire you?

There’s no upfront cost. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means we only get paid if we recover compensation for you.

How long do I have to file a claim?

In Nevada, personal injury claims are generally subject to a statute of limitations. The timeline can vary, so it’s important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.

How long does a personal injury case take?

Every case is different. Some resolve in a few months, while others take longer depending on complexity and whether litigation is required. We focus on doing it right, not rushing the process.

What if I was partially at fault for the accident?

You may still be eligible to recover compensation under Nevada’s comparative fault laws. Your recovery may be adjusted based on your level of responsibility.

How are pain and suffering damages calculated?

There’s no fixed formula. These damages are based on factors like the severity of your injuries, recovery time, and how the injury affects your daily life.

How do I pay my medical bills before my case is resolved?

In many cases, medical care can be coordinated while your claim is ongoing. We help guide you through your options so you can focus on recovery.
