Understanding Personal Injury Law
Unlike large firms that handle cases on an assembly-line basis, Relief Lawyers provides personalized attention to each client. Our experienced team understands the intricacies of personal injury law and ensures every case receives the dedication it deserves.
What can we say that you haven’t already heard from the personal injury attorney ads you have seen over your lifetime? How about the TRUTH?
The TRUTH is that a law firm’s experience and ability to financially fund cases does matter in MANY cases. Is it better to have a law firm that is bigger or smaller? Sometimes it is. Larger law firms usually have more money and attorneys to throw at CERTAIN cases, but not all their cases. That’s right: they do not spend their size and resources on all cases equally.
Most of those TV and billboard attorneys typically pick up a few “winners” and push their other clients to settle quickly for smaller settlements. They have huge offices that process their cases in order to move that many cases through their system – much like when Ford builds a car on the assembly line. None of the employees knows you or the details of your whole case. Many (if not most) of the employees know little about how a personal injury case is actually litigated from beginning to end.
One person’s job is to do the initial meeting with the client, another person’s job is to gather photos and information from the client (you), someone else is then tasked with ordering your medical records from your doctors, a different person’s job is to scan your medical records into the system once they are received, another person’s job is to categorize those medical records and organize them into a time-line, another person’s job is to put together a spreadsheet of your medical providers, etc. Nobody really knows you or your case very well, or even knows what the end product is supposed to look like.
If your case happens to be the one-in-a-thousand case that is potentially worth a lot of money, then those firms will usually farm out the case to trial attorneys at a different law firm and take a referral fee. Their advertising campaigns are used the same way miners would pan for gold. They sift through a lot of muddy cases to find the few golden ones; and when they do, they typically send the golden cases to someone else to file suit and litigate
You may ask, how do you know this? Well, some of us used to work for those other firms. Also, over the years, we have hired legal assistants and paralegals who have many years of experience from those mega firms. They show up completely ignorant of what a personal injury case really is about. They are experts in only ordering medical records or drafting demand letters, etc., but know very little else.
So, why would a law firm treat their clients and cases this way? Well, because they are panning for a few golden cases, we don’t see our clients or their cases like that. We treat every case and every client as a gold nugget, and find the most value in each one.
Who Can Sue For Personal Injury?
Anybody who is injured as a result of an accident or a mistake made by someone else can make a claim for relief. If you are injured due to another’s mistake or negligence, you might hear people telling you to just live with the pain and costs of recovery. However, we believe in holding responsible parties financially accountable and ensuring victims receive the necessary resources for recovery.

What is the Statute of Limitations in Nevada Injury Cases?
The statute of limitations in Nevada is a critical point in the ability to recover compensation. Nevada law NRS Chapter 11 restricts the time in which an injured person has the right to file suit against a negligent party:
- Personal Injury and Wrongful Death: A personal injury caused by a mistake, wrongful act, or neglect by someone else must be filed within two years. [Nev. Rev. Stat. § 11.190(4)(e)].
- Product Liability: Cases of injury from a faulty or defective product must be filed within two years.
- Medical Malpractice: These injury or wrongful death cases must be acted upon quickly, as the statute of limitations allows for one year to file from the date the condition, illness, or disease is discovered, although some extensions may be possible (NRS 41A).
- Cases Filed Against the City, County, State or Other Governmental Agency: These cases have specific filing requirements that must be managed correctly.
Insurance companies and defense attorneys often try to minimize payouts by questioning the validity of claims and by questioning claims related to delayed or inconsistent treatment. What do ‘delayed treatment’ or ‘breaks in care’ mean in this context? Well, they are a common tactic for defense counsel is to claim that medical care that started a week or more after the accident was likely the result of and caused by something else, or to call a week without treatment a “gap in treatment”.
Benefits of Hiring a Personal Injury Lawyer
Hiring a personal injury attorney can make a significant difference in the outcome of your case. One advantage of having a personal injury lawyer is the ability to maximize your compensation. They can accurately evaluate your claim, considering all potential damages like medical bills, lost wages, and emotional distress. This ensures you receive the full compensation you deserve.
Personal injury attorneys also handle the legal intricacies of your case. From collecting evidence to managing paperwork, they take care of the details, allowing you to focus on your recovery. Their knowledge of the law helps build a strong case.
