Frequently Asked Questions
Are there upfront costs to get started?
No. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you don’t pay anything upfront. We only get paid if your case results in a recovery.
How much time do I have to take legal action?
Nevada law sets deadlines for filing personal injury claims. The exact timeline can depend on the details of your case, so it’s important to speak with an injury attorney in Reno early to avoid missing important deadlines.
How long should I expect my case to take?
Every case is different. Some may resolve in a matter of months, while others take longer depending on complexity, medical treatment, and whether litigation is needed. We focus on handling your case thoroughly, not rushing the process.
What happens if I was partially at fault?
You may still be able to recover compensation under Nevada’s comparative fault rules. Your recovery may be reduced based on your level of responsibility, but it doesn’t automatically prevent you from having a case.
How is compensation for pain and suffering decided?
There isn’t a fixed formula. It’s based on factors like the severity of your injuries, how long recovery takes, and how the injury impacts your daily life, work, and overall well-being.
What should I do about medical bills while my case is ongoing?
There are often options to help manage treatment costs while your case is in progress. We help you understand what’s available so you can continue receiving care without unnecessary financial pressure.
