Frequently-Asked-Questions

I was injured in a car accident in Nevada. What do I do?

DO NOT ADMIT FAULT!
Remain at the scene, move your car to a safe area if possible, and call an ambulance if necessary.
Exchange information with the other involved drivers and document everything that happened.
Report the accident to the DMV within 10 days if it caused bodily injury or at least $750 in property damage.
Seek medical assistance if needed for your injuries, and contact an attorney to pursue money damages from all the at-fault parties.

Can I sue my employer if I was injured at work?

If you were injured at work, you may have no choice but to pursue workers’ compensation. Though depending on the circumstances of your accident, we may still be able to bring a traditional lawsuit against your employer or other third parties.

How long do I have to sue?

In most personal injury cases based on negligence, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. Though this statute of limitations can be longer or shorter depending on the facts of the case and the legal grounds.

What if I was partly to blame?

What life savers!! Walking into Las Vegas Defense Group saved me. Carole was fantastic and willingly assisted me by putting me at ease and quickly setting me up with a case manager. I must admit, the office was great (and the coffee and snacks helped a lot too). I definitely would recommend their services to anyone with traffic violations, DUI’s, or more serious criminal offenses.
