Personal Injury Damages
A personal injury can result in significant medical bills, time off from work, and other financial hardships. Additionally, a severe injury can change how you live and interact with others. If the incident that led to your injury was not your fault, you deserve compensation for your losses.
In general, the goal of a personal injury case is to secure the financial compensation the victim needs to return their life to as “normal” a state as possible. Therefore, recoverable damages will depend on many factors unique to you and your case, including the type of accident you sustained, the severity of your injuries, the cost of your treatment, the length of your recovery, and the extent of your pain and suffering.
Our Las Vegas personal injury lawyer can help you identify and calculate your losses and pursue the maximum compensation available to you or your loved one, which may include:
- Medical expenses. We can seek awards for your current medical bills and a sum to cover the cost of your necessary future treatment. Compensation may include emergency department care, hospital visits, surgeries, rehabilitation, physical therapy, long-term nursing services, and more.
- Lost income. If you missed work because of your accident or injury, we can help you recover your back pay and lost benefits, bonuses, and other earnings. In addition, if you have a permanent or disabling injury that interferes with your ability to work, we can seek compensation for reductions in your earning potential.
- Pain and suffering. We can seek compensation for how your accident affects your physical, mental, and emotional health. You may receive monetary awards for depression, distress, anxiety, scarring and disfigurement, chronic or severe pain, loss of mobility, and loss of enjoyment of life.
- Wrongful death. We can help you recover wrongful death compensation if your family member suffered a fatal injury for which they could have pursued personal injury damages. The deceased’s estate and qualifying beneficiaries may recover medical expenses, funeral and burial costs, and the deceased’s lost income (including future wages they would likely have earned had they lived). Eligible survivors could recover awards for their sorrow, grief, and loss of their loved one’s affection, care, and companionship.

Who Is Liable for Your Personal Injury in Las Vegas?
Depending on the accident that caused your injury, the liable party could be a motor vehicle operator, a property owner, a health care provider, or even a manufacturer. Whoever is responsible, you must prove their actions (or failure to act) caused your injuries and damages. Our attorneys can do this by establishing the four elements of negligence:
- Duty of care. We will show the liable party had a legal obligation to avoid causing you harm. For example, all drivers have a duty to operate their vehicles safely and follow traffic laws.
- Breach. Our injury lawyers will show that the at-fault party breached their duty of care. In a car accident case, a breach may include speeding, drinking and driving, or running a red light.
- Causation. We will directly link the liable party’s breach of duty to your injury.
- Damages. This step involves proving that your injuries led to financial losses and pain and suffering.

Nevada’s Personal Injury Statute of Limitations
Most personal injury cases in Nevada have a two-year statute of limitations, according to NRS § 11.190(4)(e). The clock starts at your time of injury or your loved one’s death. However, some circumstances could shorten or lengthen your window to take legal action. For example, if medical malpractice caused you injured, you may have only one year to pursue your damages under NRS § 41A.097(2).
The court will likely dismiss your case if you do not file your lawsuit within the deadline. Additionally, an expired statute could give the insurance company a reason to deny your claim or reduce your settlement. Our Las Vegas personal injury lawyer can tell you more about how the laws affect you and help you get started right away.
