Personal Injury Lawsuits & Settlements
Personal Injury Lawyers Serving Reno, Elko and the State of Nevada
Each personal injury case involves three factors that establish the strength of your case. First, who is liable for your injury? Did it result out of negligence on the part of another party? Second, what damages have you incurred or anticipate incurring? What is the amount needed to sufficiently compensate you now and in the future? And third, from whom or where can these damages be collected? If your injury was the result of negligence, was the negligent party insured?
Also considered is your level of pain and suffering.
Key factors for determining award amounts
Approximately 95 percent of personal injury lawsuits settle. While there is no minimum or maximum dollar amount you may receive in a personal injury settlement in Nevada, a variety of key factors determine the award you are entitled to, including the following:
- Costs of medical treatment
- Costs of future medical treatment
- Lost income due to time spent out of work
- Lost potential for future income
- Your age
- Long-term effects of the injury
- Inability to participate in certain activities due to the injury
- Inability to enjoy certain activities in which you are still able to participate
- Potential for future health problems which stem from the injury
- Witness' testimony
Personal injury settlements that fairly and fully compensate injured people are often reached with an experienced professional providing assistance along the way.
