Understanding Your Costs: Las Vegas Personal Injury Attorney Fees

For most personal injury matters, we use a contingency fee—you pay attorney’s fees only if there is a recovery. This helps you access legal representation without upfront costs. Written fee agreements explain percentages and how case expenses are handled.

Free Consultations

Discuss your case at no cost or obligation, learn strengths and risks, and decide if our firm is the right fit.

Contingency Fee Basis (No Upfront Costs)

• No upfront attorney’s fees
• Fees only if we obtain a settlement or verdict
• Fees are a percentage of the recovery

What Contingency Fees Cover

Evaluation, investigation, negotiations with insurers, trial preparation, and courtroom representation.

Expenses Covered

Some costs (e.g., filing fees, experts, records) may be advanced by the firm and reimbursed from the recovery. We explain all terms in writing before work begins.

What Happens if the Case Isn’t Successful?

If there’s no recovery, you don’t owe attorney’s fees on contingency matters.

Immediate Actions After an Accident in Nevada

Seek Medical Attention

Get care promptly—even if injuries seem minor. Early records support your claim and guide treatment.

Report the Incident

Report vehicle crashes to law enforcement and workplace injuries to supervisors as required. Official reports are key evidence.

Gather Evidence (Photos, Witness Info)

Photograph the scene, hazards, vehicles, and injuries. Collect witness info. Keep everything organized for your attorney.

Do NOT Speak to Insurance Companies Without Legal Counsel

Insurers may seek statements quickly. Speak with an attorney first so we can handle communications and protect your rights.

Nevada Statute of Limitations for Personal Injury Claims

Deadlines matter. In Nevada, most personal injury lawsuits must be filed within two years of the injury or death. Medical malpractice has special timing and requires an expert affidavit. Government-related claims have special notice rules. Missing deadlines risks dismissal of your case.

How We Help You Meet Deadlines

• Determine exact deadlines and any exceptions
• Track key dates and preserve evidence
• File and serve your case on time
