Motor Vehicle Accidents Often Cause Life-Changing Injuries

Motor vehicle accidents are a leading cause of severe injuries and deaths in Nevada and throughout the United States. Even minor fender benders can cause whiplash, head injuries, and broken bones. While safety campaigns, stricter laws, and advances in motor vehicle safety technology have made Las Vegas roadways safer for motorists, accident victims often suffer injuries that leave them with a permanent disability. In the most serious vehicle crashes, one or more people are killed, spurring a wrongful death lawsuit.

Accident victims who are lucky enough to survive often find themselves facing massive medical bills. If ongoing medical care is necessary, the victim is unable to return to work, or homes or vehicles must be modified after a crash, financial burdens can quickly become unmanageable.

How Much Is Your Las Vegas Motor Vehicle Accident Case Worth?

A motor vehicle accident lawyer cannot predict exactly how much an injury claim may be worth, but or attorneys can provide you with a fairly accurate estimate. To determine the value of your case, we consider a number of factors.

What caused your crash?

Our legal team and accident investigators will use photos, videos, witness statements, and other evidence to determine why your accident happened.

Who was responsible?

Our injury lawyers will identify all parties whose negligence caused you to be hurt, such as a distracted or speeding driver or a vehicle parts manufacturer.

What are the insurance coverages?

The at-fault party’s liability insurance policy limits help us determine the amount of compensation you may receive after a motor vehicle accident.

Did you contribute to the accident?

If you contributed to the crash, but you were less than 51% at fault, you may still be able to recover compensation. Your award will be adjusted to account for your portion of fault.

How severe are your accident injuries?

If your injuries are severe, your award will likely be higher than an award that someone with minor or moderate injuries would receive.
