How do I know if I have a case?

In order to prevail in a personal injury lawsuit in Nevada, you must be able to show that you have been injured and that your injury resulted from the intentional or negligent conduct of another. The injury may be a physical injury or it may be an emotional injury. In addition, it must sometimes be demonstrated that your conduct did not contribute to the accident and that there are no defenses that would bar recovery. By consulting with a Las Vegas, Nevada based Christensen Law Offices’ attorney, you will be in a better position to determine whether or not you have a case or the strength of your case.

How do I know if I may need an attorney?

If you have been seriously injured in Las Vegas, Nevada or a surrounding area or are unsure as to the outcome of your injury, then an experienced personal injury attorney should always be consulted before you give any statements or sign any papers of any kind and as soon after your injury as possible. In a serious injury case, you are better off hiring an attorney as soon as possible. There is a statute of limitation that requires you to file a lawsuit within a specific period of time, depending upon the circumstances of your case, or else you will be prohibited from filing a lawsuit or obtaining any compensation for your injuries. A Christensen Law Offices’ attorney will be able to advise you on the applicable statute of limitations for your injury case.

What is a Contingency Fee?

A contingency fee is a method of compensation that is used by lawyers in most injury cases. The fee that you owe your attorney is contingent or only required to be paid if your lawyer obtains money for you. A contingent fee is paid as a percentage of your monetary recovery. A contingent fee is what is meant when you hear “no fee unless we recover money for you.” However, the client is generally responsible for the out-of-pocket costs of litigation. Contingency fees are negotiable and usually one third of what you recover from the responsible party.
