Insurance Adjusters Don't Represent You

We are paid attorney fees only if we win you money for your personal injury case. If we don't win you money for your Las Vegas Personal Injury case you don't have to pay us an attorney fee. Licensed insurance representative who work for an insurance company are paid to adjust claims. The primary focus of an insurance adjuster is to pay you the least money from their insurance company employer. By paying claims slowly, an insurance company keeps the extra money in the bank earning interest or in other investments. Don't think for a minute that the insurance adjuster is representing you on your Las Vegas Personal Injury claim. The adjuster may appear friendly, but these people don't represent your best interests. Sometimes the insurance company hires one of the local Las Vegas Personal Injury claims investigators to settle your case. An insurance company will pay the smallest sum of money Nevada laws force them to. An Insurance company is a business which has the main goal of making profit for the owners. The insurance company will not pay any more money than they have to. The insurance adjusters and supervisors push to earn the most profit for the insurance company possible. They may get raises, bonuses and promotions if they are good at saving money for the company. They don't strive be generous and pay you extra money. An insurance adjuster will not try to find you the best medical facility for your personal injury. They won't loan you money in advance of a settlement if you can't work and aren't getting paid. They won't give you a cash advance to cover your medical expenses or pay hospital bills before they go to a collection agency. They don't hurry to get your car repaired. They don't have claims meetings to find a way to pay you the largest settlement for your personal injury case.

Don't Handle Your Own Personal Injury Case

It's not in your best interest to process your own personal injury claim or to try and handle the negotiations with the insurance company without a Las Vegas Personal Injury Lawyer assisting you. It is a tremendous help to have an experienced lawyer helping with your Las Vegas Personal Injury case who negotiates them often, and who has the depth of knowledge and is experienced in helping victims of Las Vegas Personal Injury claims. We will help you to get the most money and the best possible medical care. You won't have to find out which doctors office will help you on a lien. Our office has case managers that are experienced and who work with a Las Vegas personal injury lawyer who reviews what they are doing and who assists you with car damage problems involved in a Las Vegas Personal Injury case. Your car may be determined to be a total loss. We will communicate with the insurance adjuster and get him or her to pay the value of your car. We will assist you with the loan payoff on your totaled car.

Our paralegals and lawyers have experience with Las Vegas Personal Injury claims and they will read any legal forms and are knowledgeable with personal injury settlement general release forms which the insurance company presents to you. You should not sign any papers from an insurance adjuster prior to our personal injury lawyers reading them to be sure the correct legal wording is used. Without a lawyer reviewing them, you can sign away other legal rights to recover money for damaged property, car rental, car storage bills and other property loss you're entitled to get money for. The typical general release document can cause you to give up the right to present a supplemental damage claim for unseen parts when the first car damage estimate was done. Of greatest importance before signing a general release form is to be clear that the wording does not release your right to win money for personal injuries lost wages and medical care in the past and future. Our law office worked on a car accident claim where the insurance company mailed a general release prior to issuing the check for the car damages. If we didn't fix the language it would have given up any later payment for personal injury and medical expenses. Frequently we need to alter the wording on releases submitted by the insurance company to protect our Las Vegas personal injury clients. There are many cases in the law books where personal injury lawyers had to file a case in court against the insurance company where a general release was signed before the person was paid for all their losses.

Our Las Vegas personal injury lawyer staff has handled thousands of personal injury claims and is highly experienced. Prior to handling your own claim, consider how many personal injury cases you have worked on. It is clearly in your best interest to allow a Las Vegas personal injury lawyer who knows the Nevada laws, claims handling process and understands how a Las Vegas personal injury claim is handled to get the best possible outcome. It is wise to allow our law office to help resolve the issues caused by your Las Vegas Personal Injury claim, and to permit Jack Bernstein and the lawyers in his office to help you. Don't rush to take a settlement for your Las Vegas personal injury case. You should allow a medical office experienced in assisting trauma victims in personal injury cases to take care of you before you settle. Sometimes doctors have you receive physical or massage therapy to help you recover. Some types of injuries get worse over time. Physicians with experience with traumatic personal injuries sometimes order diagnostic tests like Cat Scans or Magnetic Resonance Imaging to diagnose internal injuries that aren't obvious on physical examination. These diagnostic tests uncover injuries to your spinal column and the disc structure in your back, knees and other parts of your body. Some types of personal injury require invasive medical care such as epidural blocks or surgery. Some personal injuries such as nerve injuries in your wrists or in your brain can progressively worsen after you suffer these personal injuries. The big picture is your Las Vegas Personal Injury Lawyer must be aware of the above points at all times as he or she works to resolve the problems in your Las Vegas Personal Injury case.

Pay Later For Medical Expenses

Almost every doctor's office wants money before they will see you. This is especially true if you have no health insurance. People have more difficulty paying for medical care following a Las Vegas Personal Injury case, often times caused by their inability to work after an accident. Las Vegas personal injury lawyers who have experience with personal injury cases know to sign the doctors guarantee letter as soon as they receive it, and fax it right back. This assures the doctor that he will get paid at the time your case settles. It also means to the doctor that your lawyer thinks he will be successful in getting you sufficient money to pay them and will allow the medical office to give you all needed medical care without being reluctant for fear of not getting paid. Some of the other medical offices that provide MRI and other diagnostic testing will also accept a signed guarantee letter from your lawyer and patiently wait to get paid at the time of settlement and provide you the tests necessary to recover. A great reason to hire a Las Vegas personal injury lawyer like Jack Bernstein who regularly helps his clients with Las Vegas personal injury case problems is the he and his staff immediately sign the doctors guarantee of payment forms and fax them back, leading the doctor's office to have full faith and trust that Jack's office will pay them at settlement, so they give you the medical care you need to recover. Nevada's lawyers professional rules of responsibility that governs lawyers behavior requires the lawyer with a signed lien letter to pay the medical office out of the settlement or face bar punishment. Without a local Las Vegas personal injury lawyer signing the lien, the doctor's office will not be assured of payment out of your settlement proceeds since only a licensed Nevada lawyer must abide by those rules. If the doctors' office didn't receive their payment by a person handling the personal injury case on their own, they would need to file a lawsuit against you to try and get paid. They would have to hire a lawyer to do that. Most medical offices will not take that risk and will only provide medical care and wait to get paid if a Las Vegas personal injury lawyer such as Jack Bernstein of Bernstein and Poisson, attorneys signs the medical lien form first.

Loan Company's May Lend Money With a Lawyer

A company that loans money may give you a cash advance on your Las Vegas personal injury case if a lawyer will sign agreeing to honor repayment out of the settlement. A loan company can give a cash advance to a Las Vegas Personal Injury lawyer's client when the personal injury lawyer is willing to abide by the loan agreement the funding company wants you to sign. The loan agreement has you pay the loaned money back when your personal injury case settles. The professional rules of ethics require the Las Vegas personal injury lawyer to pay the loaned money back when the money is paid out on your case. Without a Las Vegas Personal Injury Lawyer agreeing to sign the documents the loan company would be forced to sue you in Court to get their money back. Loan companies do not like to take that risk. Therefore without a Las Vegas Personal Injury lawyer who agrees to sign the documents and pay back the loan, which is subject to bar punishment they won't lend you the money.

Las Vegas Personal Injury Lawyers Fight For You

Other important things to think about before you hire a Las Vegas Personal Injury Lawyer include how an insurance company uses strategy to pay you the lowest settlement they can. Insurance company adjusters and supervisors work as a team (referred to as units) and develop a strategy to pay you the lowest amount of money they think you will accept to sign a release. An insurance company team consisting of an adjuster, a supervisor, and a claims manager (sometimes in larger cases valued over $100,000 a regional manager and a home office claims committee) work jointly on each Las Vegas car accident case and discuss the weaknesses and strengths in your personal injury case. An important topic they discuss is whether you are represented by a Las Vegas Personal Injury Lawyer. If you are working on your own personal injury case it signals to them that a non lawyer will not have the know how or skills to file a lawsuit in the Las Vegas District Courthouse if the insurance adjuster refuses to pay a fair settlement for your Las Vegas Personal Injury case. The insurance representatives are aware that it requires a Las Vegas personal injury lawyer with experience to file a lawsuit in the Las Vegas District Court. They are aware that non lawyers will not know the laws, legal rules, and local customs needed to fight the insurance company lawyers. Insurance adjusters and insurance defense lawyers have skills to prevent you from obtaining a personal injury settlement on the high end of value for your Las Vegas Personal Injury claim. If you live in a State other than Nevada, it is smart not to retain a personal injury lawyer who is not licensed by the Nevada bar association(It requires the lawyer to pass the bar which is the second most difficult bar in the Nation with a failure rate or approximately 55%). The insurance team will consider if you have a lawyer not licensed in Nevada. It is also possible the out of state personal injury lawyer might suggest you agree to a settlement which is lower than a fair amount because he or she could not file a lawsuit in the Clark County District Courthouse if the insurance adjuster refused to offer a reasonable amount of money for your personal injury case.
