At Eric H. Woods Law, we work on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay nothing upfront and owe no legal fees unless we win your case. Our free consultation will explain exactly how this works.

In Nevada, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is 2 years from the date of the accident (NRS 11.190). Medical malpractice claims may have different deadlines. Don't wait — evidence and witnesses can become harder to find over time.

First, ensure everyone's safety and call 911. Document the scene with photos, exchange information with other drivers, and get witness contacts. Seek medical attention even if you feel fine. Do not give recorded statements to any insurance company before speaking with an attorney.

Every case is unique. Factors that affect value include: the severity of your injuries, medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and the insurance coverage available. Use our Settlement Calculator above for a rough estimate, or call us for a free case evaluation.

Nevada follows a modified comparative negligence rule (NRS 41.141). You can still recover damages as long as you were less than 51% at fault. Your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you were 20% at fault and your damages are $100,000, you could recover $80,000.

While you can file a claim yourself, studies show that accident victims who hire attorneys receive significantly higher settlements than those who don't — even after attorney fees. Insurance companies have teams of lawyers working against you. You deserve someone on your side.

Most personal injury cases in Nevada settle within 6 months to 2 years. Simple cases with clear liability may resolve faster. Complex cases involving surgery, permanent injuries, or disputed liability may take longer. We always keep you informed throughout the process.

You may be entitled to: medical expenses (past and future), lost wages and earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, property damage, and in some cases punitive damages. We fight to maximize every category of compensation.

The vast majority of personal injury cases — over 95% — settle before trial. However, we always prepare every case as if it will go to trial. This preparation is what drives higher settlement offers. If the insurance company won't offer fair compensation, we are fully prepared to take your case to court.
