If you are hurt in any way, mentally or physically, by another person or entity, this is known and classified as personal injury. There are no more frequently filed lawsuits than Las Vegas personal injury cases, and there’s a reason for this. Personal injury cases can be filed for any type of injury, but they are most often filed for car accidents. Car accidents can lead to a wide variety of conditions and wounds, and even kill people.

Before settling with an insurance company, the first I recommend you do is meet with a qualified attorney. This isn’t legal advice but advice to protect your best interests. Dealing directly with an insurance company is not a good idea because their objective is to make a deal serving their interests. Your personal injury attorney will protect your interests and ensure you’re not taken victimized.

Many Personal Injury attorneys work on a “contingency fee” basis. This means that you pay nothing up front, and will not even pay an initial consultation fee. Many work on a no-recovery, no-fee basis. This helps you in a couple different aspects. First, you are out no additional money to have a professional represent you, and your attorney will work to get you the best settlement or verdict possible since they are now ‘partners’ with you and now has a vested interest in your success. Second, this will also be a very good indicator of whether you have a legitimate case or not. Many attorneys will not take a case on if they do not see any merit in it. They know what kinds of cases are good, and what kinds are bad. Better yet, can they prove the damages or negligence in court? Since they are paid nothing for their time until your case settles, then they will likely not take your case if they do not think they have a chance at winning.

Here are some final tips for you if you are injured.

Immediately seek the advice of an attorney While the information is fresh, you will be able to provide many detail about the accident. You don’t have to select the first attorney you speak to. It’s practical to seek many opinions. Some select the attorney they think will perform the job best, while others pick the one they like better. It’s up to you.

- Get all the paperwork you need. Make sure you have testimonials and contact information from witnesses who are on your side. Don’t let these potentially valuable people slip away over time and lose the information and memories you need from them for your case. Get all of the accident reports, insurance papers, and documentation you require in court.

Do NOT make any statements to any insurance company (either yours or theirs) until you have talked with your attorney. Simply say you are not prepared to give a statement if you are contacted by an insurance company – and you will!

Keep track of all money you’ve spent or lost. Everything is important, any money you have lost from not working, all hospital bills, any property damage, everything!
