Do I Need a Personal Injury Attorney?

Is hiring a lawyer truly necessary? When commuters face injuries on the morning drive to Downtown Summerlin or families experience accidents at community parks, this question often arises.

While technically you can represent yourself, studies show that injury victims who hire attorneys typically receive settlements three to four times larger than those who go it alone. Insurance companies have teams of lawyers protecting their interests. Who will protect yours?

A skilled personal injury lawyer understands the true value of your claim, knows how to navigate complex legal processes, and can challenge insurance company tactics designed to minimize your compensation.

Affording Legal Representation

Can you afford a personal injury lawyer when medical bills are already piling up? This worry affects many families across Summerlin, from the gated communities near TPC Summerlin to the apartments along Town Center Drive.

Our firm operates on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront. We only collect a fee if we win your case. This arrangement provides access to quality legal representation regardless of your financial situation.

Additionally, your initial consultation is always free, allowing you to understand your options without obligation.

What Steps Should I Take After a Serious Injury?

After experiencing a serious injury in Summerlin, taking the right actions can protect both your health and your legal rights.

Your first priority should always be getting proper medical treatment. Even injuries that seem minor can worsen over time, especially those common in our area like heat-related incidents during summer months.

Next, gather and preserve evidence from the accident scene. Take photos, collect witness contact information, and document everything while memories are fresh.

Finally, consult with a personal injury attorney before speaking with insurance companies. Many of our 657 five-star reviews mention how insurance adjusters tried to minimize their claims before they called us.

Understanding Personal Injury Claims

Every personal injury case rests on four essential elements. First, someone owed you a duty of care. Second, they breached that duty through negligence or wrongful action. Third, this breach directly caused your injury. Fourth, you suffered actual damages as a result.

When you visit us at our office just a short drive from the Las Vegas Ballpark, we will walk you through how these elements apply to your specific situation.

Nevada Statute of Limitations for Summerlin Personal Injury Claims

In Nevada, you generally have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. This time limit makes prompt action essential, particularly if your accident occurred while hiking the popular trails at Red Rock Canyon or shopping at Downtown Summerlin.

Missing this deadline typically means losing your right to seek compensation forever. Certain exceptions exist for minors and cases where injuries were discovered later, but these are rare.

Recoverable Damages in Personal Injury Claims

What compensation can you pursue after an injury in Summerlin? Nevada law allows recovery for both economic and non-economic damages.

Economic damages include medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and future care costs. For many of our clients living near the master-planned communities along the western edge of the valley, these practical considerations are their most immediate concern.

Non-economic damages cover pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and similar impacts. In cases of extreme negligence, punitive damages may also be available.
