Why Should I Hire a Las Vegas Personal Injury Lawyer with The Advocates?

When you hire an Advocate, you get more than a personal injury attorney. You get an entire team of legal professionals dedicated to assisting you and your family in any way possible. We’ll help you find excellent medical care in your area, get your car into an auto repair shop, and even communicate with your employer regarding your injuries.

Our accident lawyers are dedicated to getting fair compensation for our injured clients. We have years of experience navigating the claims process, negotiating with insurance companies, and representing accident victims in court.

At The Advocates, we understand that no two personal injury cases are alike. You deserve legal representation that meets your unique needs. You deserve an Advocate.

How Much Will I Have to Pay for a Las Vegas Advocate?

You will pay nothing out-of-pocket for our legal services. Instead of requiring a retainer or charging an hourly fee, our attorneys work on a contingency fee basis. This means that we do not get paid until we win your case and you receive a settlement. When your case settles, our attorney fees are calculated as a percentage of your settlement amount.

This fee structure works to your benefit in several ways. First, it means that an injury victim’s financial situation is not a barrier to obtaining excellent legal representation. Second, it ensures that your attorney’s goal is the same as yours: to get you maximum compensation for your accident injuries.

How Do I Know I Have a Personal Injury Case in Las Vegas?

The best way to know whether you have a legitimate accident claim is to speak with an experienced personal injury attorney. They will examine the factual circumstances of your accident and determine whether you have a valid case.

In general, you must be able to prove four elements of negligence in order to recover any damages:

Duty of care: You must prove that the at-fault party had a responsibility to keep you safe (for example, all drivers have a duty to obey traffic laws to avoid accidents).

Breach: It must be shown that the at-fault party failed this duty and put you at risk.

Injury: You must show that the at-fault party’s actions (or failure to act) caused your injuries.

Damages: You must provide evidence that you suffered damages as a result of your injuries.

When you hire an injury attorney, they will gather evidence and build your case in order to prove negligence. You simply need to keep up with medical treatment and work on feeling better.

Do All Cases Go to Trial?

No, not all personal injury cases go to trial. In fact, most cases are settled in negotiations and never make it to the courtroom. There are instances, however, when litigation may be your best option.

If the at-fault party’s insurance company isn’t willing to make a fair offer, your attorney may advise that you take your case to court. Likewise, if the statute of limitations is about to expire, you may need to go to litigation to avoid losing your right to a claim.

If you choose to go to litigation, The Advocates’ team of trial lawyers will prepare you for court, build your case, and argue on your behalf in front of a judge and/or jury.

What Types of Damages Can I Sue for in a Las Vegas Claim?

Every personal injury case is different. There is no way to accurately judge the value of your case or the types of compensation you may receive without knowing the factual details of the accident and your injuries.

As a general guideline, some common damages from personal injury cases include:

Medical expenses
Property damage
Lost income and loss of future earning capacity
Non-economic damages, like pain and suffering
Funeral and burial expenses

How Long Do I Have to File a Lawsuit?

Every personal injury case is subject to a time limit known as the statute of limitations. When this time period is up, you lose your right to file a claim.

In Nevada, the statute of limitations for personal injury lawsuits is generally two years from the date of injury. It’s essential to speak with a personal injury attorney as soon as you believe you have a case so you do not run out of time.
