Television can paint an unflattering image of an attorney who will represent a client who has been involved in a vehicle accident in Las Vegas Nevada. This is unfair, both to the attorney and the individual who has been injured as a result of negligence on the part of someone else. Rarely does a layman fully understand his or her rights, this is the realm of the attorney; they can advise a client whether a case is worth pursuing or not.
From the victim’s point of view, consultation with an attorney should come before anything else except medical attention. Once the victim of a vehicle accident in Las Vegas Nevada is in the hands of competent medical personnel, an attorney should be contacted. There are several reasons for contacting an attorney quickly; there is a statute of limitations when a case can be filed and, the insurance company of the negligent party will try everything they can to get you to take minimal compensation and then sign off on any further action.
Do not think for one minute that you cannot afford a competent attorney, you can. Most attorneys who focus their practice on personal injury will take a case on contingency, this is a method whereby the attorney is compensated from an agreed upon percentage of the eventual settlement. It is very important that you tell the attorney everything there is to know about the accident, even if you are partially to blame. Most attorneys in situations like this attempt to settle out of court with the insurance company that carries the negligent parties policy, however, if the settlement offered is not commensurate with the injuries and suffering, a good attorney will have no problems in taking your case to court.
Do not believe for one minute that you are taking unfair advantage of having been in a vehicle accident in Las Vegas Nevada, you are not. When you engage an accident attorney you are doing so because you do not know your own rights, the attorney will guide you, advise you and represent you in the event there is a valid claim. You have every right to be compensated for all expenses, the pain you have had to endure and possibly a lifestyle change.
If you have been involved in a vehicle accident in Las Vegas Nevada and you were not at fault, then you have every right to sue. You are invited to contact the law offices of Parviz A. Heshmati ESQ for a free case evaluation.
