The most important reason is that only an attorney licensed in Nevada is allowed to handle your Las Vegas Car Accident as your lawyer and file a lawsuit if needed. You should not hire a lawyer from your state to handle a Las Vegas car accident. The insurance adjuster will know that your lawyer for your car accident in Las Vegas is not located in Las Vegas and is not a Las Vegas lawyer. This will affect the outcome of your case. The insurance adjuster will be aware that your out of state lawyer cannot file a lawsuit in the Las Vegas District Court on your behalf. The adjuster will tend to offer less money knowing the out of state lawyer cannot file a lawsuit and cost the insurance company thousands and typically tens of thousands of dollars to defend your car accident case. 

A local Las Vegas Lawyer such as attorney Jack Bernstein who has handled personal injury and car accident cases for twenty seven years knows the car accident laws that apply to your case. For example, we are entitled to get the car insurance limits from the driver at fault with a medical document but not without one. Of crucial importance is the two year statute of limitation to bring a Las Vegas car accident case to court. After two years you are barred from receiving money for your Las Vegas car accident case. There are hospital lien laws that apply to a Las Vegas car accident that require payment to the hospital and specific requirements for the liens to apply.

At Jack Bernstein and Associates, we file our own lawsuits in the Clark County District Court for  Visitors who have a Las Vegas car accident.  Our staff of four experienced Las Vegas personal injury lawyers negotiate our cases, and if they don't settle we do not refer your Las Vegas Car Accident case to another law firm to file the car accident lawsuit. We file it ourselves. That is important because the insurance companies know our reputation for filing our own lawsuits for Visitors to Las Vegas injured in a Car Accident and know that we will not have to "split" our attorney fee with another firm if the need to file a lawsuit on your case arises. They know they will have to pay the maximum settlement to you for your personal injuries from the Las Vegas car accident.

If you were hurt while visiting Las Vegas in a car accident and in need of medical care, and possibly without health insurance , we will sign a letter of protection with a doctor near your home to allow you to receive medical care and await the personal injury settlement before paying the doctor.

It is important to immediately seek the advice of an experienced Las Vegas Car Accident attorney such as Jack Bernstein of Jack Bernstein and Associates who has handled car accident cases for more than twenty seven years. Car insurance companies hire licensed insurance adjusters to handle the claim processing of your Las Vegas car accident. The insurance adjusters interest is to protect the insurance company, and not to represent the Las Vegas car accident victim. The car accident insurance adjusters job who is adjusting a car accident claim for a person injured while visiting Las Vegas is to pay only what the law requires. They are interested in maximizing their profit and not in being generous with a Las Vegas car accident victim. Their goal is not to make sure you receive the best medical care or that you settle with them for the most money possible but to pay you the least money possible. It is important to hire a local Las Vegas Lawyer such as Jack Bernstein who is familiar with the insurance companies and fighting for the rights of the visitors to Las Vegas that are injured in a car accident.

Attempting to navigate the resolution of your Las Vegas car accident with an insurance adjuster yourself is not a wise decision. You should not give a tape recorded or written statement to the insurance adjuster unless an experienced personal injury lawyer from Las Vegas is on the phone with you at the time.

Trying to handle your own bodily injury claim is not wise. It is not in your best interest to rush into a bodily injury settlement after a car accident in Las Vegas. If you are in pain, you should go to a physician that is trained in assisting car accident and other trauma victims, and obtain medical care, physical therapy, massage, chiropractic care and other medical care as your physician determines based upon your personal injuries. Some injuries get worse over time, rather than improve. Physicians and Chiropractors trained in handling car accident injuries will order an MRI to diagnose structural injuries such as a herniated disc which needs more invasive treatment to heal such as epidural blocks or surgery. There are nerve injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome that sometimes develop slowly. It is important not to rush to sign off and settle your Las Vegas car accident case.

Most times your doctor will require you to pay up front for your medical care. Having to pay cash up front for medical care following a car accident where you might find yourself out of work, comes at the worst financial time. Our law office will contact your doctor and help you find a doctor close to you who will have the attorney sign a letter of protection and wait to get paid out of the insurance recovery for the car accident in Las Vegas. MRI centers, orthopedic doctors, and other medical providers will usually give you medical care and wait to get paid until your personal injury case settles.

The reason you need an experienced attorney like Jack Bernstein who handles Las Vegas car accident cases is that he will sign the letter of protection and the doctor will trust his office to pay the bill out of the settlement. It is a requirement of the rules governing Las Vegas Personal Injury Lawyers  for the attorney to honor the doctors letter of protection. Without a Las Vegas Personal Injury Lawyer, the medical provider does not have the same protection since the patient is not bound by these rules. The doctor would have to file a lawsuit against the patient if they did not pay them out of the settlement. Doctors will usually treat you for your car accident injuries with an experienced attorney such as Jack Bernstein since they are used to doing this on accident cases.

Funding companies that will loan a visitor of a car accident while visiting Las Vegas money will do so only when there is an attorney handling the Las Vegas car accident case who agrees to pay the loan back.  It is a requirement of the rules governing Las Vegas Personal Injury Lawyers for the lawyer to pay the loan back from the settlement. Without a personal injury attorney such as Jack Bernstein, the loan company would have to file lawsuit against you to recover their money in the event you did not voluntarily pay them back which they wont take a risk of.

I cannot stress strongly enough the importance of hiring a local Las Vegas Car Accident lawyer such as Jack Bernstein. Consider that the insurance adjusters that decide how much to offer for your Las Vegas Car Accident claim take into account the difficulty and possibility for you to file a lawsuit in the Clark County District Court if they don't offer you a fair settlement. They know it takes an experienced Las Vegas car accident litigator to file a lawsuit and that the average person will not be able to navigate the complex procedural rules needed to handle a Las Vegas car accident case in Clark County District Court which is where your Las Vegas Car accident case MUST be filed. For that same reason, an out of state attorney who is not licensed in Nevada should not handle your case. The insurance adjuster will know that attorney might have incentive to settle for less money because he or she will not be licensed to file suit on your case should it not settle.

You should not think that you will be giving away money that you would otherwise get yourself by hiring an attorney. Experienced attorneys such as Jack Bernstein who oversees every case in his office add a lot of value and cause your case to settle on average for a greater amount of money. I personally am involved in every negotiated settlement in my office and go over the offers and demands personally with my staff attorneys and handle many of the negotiations myself. I have worked on approximately fifty thousand cases and know the values involved. Normally an experienced attorney will get you a higher settlement which will normally cover the attorney fees his or her office earns. It is also important to understand that your car accident case is handled on a contingency basis. You will not have to pay any attorney fees to Jack Bernstein and Associates unless you win your case.
