FAQs

A skilled Las Vegas personal injury lawyer can help you determine whether you have a viable injury claim. Did you sustain injuries because of another person’s negligence, intentional actions, or recklessness? If you can show the other party is at fault and have proof of damages they caused, you could have a personal injury claim.

Common personal injury claims include motor vehicle accidents, slip and falls, dog bites, swimming pool accidents, boating collisions, wrongful death, defective products, and nursing home abuse. Criminal acts involving physical assaults, domestic violence, robberies, etc., can also give rise to a civil lawsuit for personal injury.

Even if you started the claims process independently, you could still hire a personal injury lawyer. It’s best to hire an attorney earlier rather than later. The sooner you retain an attorney, the sooner we can start protecting your rights.

Even if you started the claim independently, contact us to schedule an initial consultation. Waiting to seek treatment can also put your personal injury claim at risk, which is why it’s also important to at least get an initial check-up following a car accident.

You should always see a doctor and get checked out after an injury accident. Some soft tissue injuries can take a day or two to become noticeable. Also, you could have internal injuries that aren’t visible. Always pay attention to your body.

It’s better to get a check-up and find out nothing serious is wrong rather than put yourself at risk. Waiting to seek treatment can also put your personal injury claim at risk, which is why it’s also important to at least get an initial check-up following a car accident.

It’s best to start the claims process right away whenever possible. Depending on the type of personal injury claim you’re planning to file and who the defendants are, different deadlines will apply. For example, car accident claims involving someone driving a government vehicle have specific claims deadlines and processes. If you miss one of these deadlines, you could lose your right to bring a claim.

If you’re involved in a car accident in Nevada, follow these steps:

Stay at the scene and check for injuries
Call 911, report the accident, and obtain witness statements if available
Exchange information with other drivers involved
Take photos of the damage and the surrounding area
Seek medical attention if necessary
Do not admit fault or sign any document without consulting an attorney.

No, Nevada is not a no-fault state for car accidents. It follows a traditional fault-based system, meaning that the driver responsible for causing the accident is held liable for any damages and injuries.

In Nevada, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury lawsuit after a car accident is two years from the date of the accident. This means that you have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit in court, or you may lose your right to receive compensation for your injuries. It’s important to seek legal advice as soon as possible after a car accident to ensure that you meet the deadline for filing a lawsuit.

The amount of a car accident settlement can vary widely depending on several factors such as the severity of the injuries, the amount of medical bills, lost wages, and property damage. Settlements can range from a few thousand dollars to several million dollars.

It’s difficult to estimate the average settlement amount as each case is unique and has its own specific circumstances. However, factors that can impact the settlement amount include the degree of fault, the amount of insurance coverage, and the strength of the evidence. An experienced personal injury attorney at Morris Injury Law can help you understand the potential value of your case and negotiate a fair settlement.

In Nevada, there is no specific timeline for how long an insurance company has to settle a claim. However, insurance companies are generally expected to resolve claims in a timely manner, taking into account the specific circumstances of the case and the severity of the damages and injuries.

If you have submitted a claim, it’s important to stay in communication with the insurance company to ensure that your case is being handled efficiently. If you believe that the insurance company is delaying or denying your claim unfairly, you may need to consult an attorney to help you resolve the issue.

I can not even begin to express the level of professionalism, grace, class & just ultimately the overall experience of greatness I received with Morris & his crew! Not gonna lie I was really uneasy about going the attorney route especially when I came in on a casual Friday & they were dressed comfortably & so bubbly I thought “this is just for show!” nooooooo they are GREAT! They made my entire process so stress free & I couldn’t be more thankful to them for that!

I was referred to Morris Injury Law by a friend after I was rear ended. From the first interaction they came across as people who are genuinely concerned about me and my well being. Their level of professionalism and courtesy has been superior. I reside in California but they took my case anyway and I can say that I have been nothing but pleased with the services provided. They located a chiropractic service close to my home and kept me up to date and informed about every step in this process. I am elated with the outcome of the case and I feel that their fees are more than fair for the services I received. Morris Injury Law comes across as a caring group of people who happen to perform their jobs at a very high level and signing with them has been one of the best decisions of my life. I would refer them without hesitation.
