Insurance Adjuster's Don't Represent You

We earn lawyer fees only if we win your personal injury case. If we don’t win money for your North Las Vegas Personal Injury case you do not pay us any money. Insurance adjusters are licensed employees of insurance companies who get paid to “adjust” your personal injury claim. The main focus for the adjuster is to give you as little money from the insurance company bank account possible. By paying money out slowly, the insurance company keeps the money invested to earn interest and dividends. Often they calculate out how much they will pay in defense lawyer fees to decide if they earn more interest yearly by keeping the money in the bank, than they will pay their lawyer to fight you, in deciding whether to settle your case. Don’t think for a second that the insurance adjuster represents you for your North Las Vegas Personal Injury accident, because they do not. Many adjusters are friendly, but these insurance company employees do not have your best interest at heart. At times an out of state insurance company will hire a local North Las Vegas Personal Injury adjuster to investigate and settle your claim. The insurance company goal is to pay the lowest amount of money Nevada law forces them to pay. Insurance companies are businesses with the central purpose of maximizing the owner’s profits. An insurance company has a bank account, not a heart, and won’t pay more money than they are forced to pay. The adjuster, supervisor, and manager strive to earn more profit for the insurance company because it protects their job. Sometimes a bonus or raise are given to them for savings on money they pay out. If they pay less money than is in “reserves” as they call the money in a “range” they consider paying, that is looked upon as a great thing for them. They aren’t known for being generous. Insurance companies don’t try to get you the finest medical care for your personal injuries. They won’t help you with a loan, even if you need medicine, surgery, or cannot work due to your injury. They aren’t advancing you cash to cover your medical or hospital bills to protect your credit. They aren’t in a rush to get your car fixed. They aren’t having meetings to figure out how to pay you the most money for your personal injury claim.

Don't Work On Your Personal Injury Case

It’s generally against your best interest to handle your own personal injury case or to negotiate with the insurance adjuster. You need a North Las Vegas Personal Injury Lawyer to represent you. It makes a BIG difference if there’s an experienced lawyer helping with your North Las Vegas Personal Injury accident who is skilled in negotiation, and who possess the knowledge and experience to help victims of a North Las Vegas Personal Injury accident. We help you to win the most money and push to get a good medical office. With our help, we’ll find a doctor’s office that accepts a lien. Our law firm has paralegals that have experience and work with our North Las Vegas personal injury lawyers who review their work and assist you with car repairs if needed for your North Las Vegas Personal Injury accident. Your car could be a total loss. We will handle the discussions with the insurance company and get them to pay for your car. We’ll help pay off your car loan.

The case managers and lawyers on our staff are experienced with North Las Vegas Personal Injury accidents and read the legal forms. They have knowledge with personal injury settlement releases which insurance companies make you sign. Don’t sign any documents from the insurance company until our personal injury lawyers read them to make certain the proper legal words are used. Unless a lawyer reviews them, you may give up important legal rights to win money for property damages, car rental, car storage and other property damage losses you’re entitled to get money for. This can include glasses or clothes. The usual general release form may result in your giving up your right to obtain additional money for extra damage for unseen parts when the initial car damage estimate was written up. Most important when a general release is signed is to make certain the wording doesn’t release the legal rights to recover money for personal injury, lost earnings, and medical bills. My law office handled a car accident case where the insurance adjuster mailed a general release before sending the check for the car repair. If we had not changed the legal wording, the additional money for personal injury and medical bills would have been given up. On many releases we change wording to protect our North Las Vegas personal injury accident cases. Sometimes we reserve the right on the form release to sue an additional company after the first settlement. If you do not reserve the right you probably cannot present the claim against them later. There are numerous accident cases in the law reporter where a personal injury lawyer filed a court action against the insurance company where a general release was signed before the person was paid for all their injuries. The Judge will have to follow the law and prevent the rest of the case from proceeding forward.

Our North Las Vegas personal injury lawyers have worked on thousands of personal injury cases and are very experienced. Before working on your own accident case, keep in mind that you have not handled hundreds or thousands of personal injury claims. It is definitely your best move to permit a North Las Vegas personal injury lawyer knowledgeable in Nevada law, who knows how the North Las Vegas personal injury accident cases are handled by the insurance companies to get you the best result. It’s smart to ask our law firm to resolve the problems caused by your North Las Vegas Personal Injury accident, and to allow Jack Bernstein and the lawyer staff in his law office to assist you. Don’t rush into a settlement on your North Las Vegas personal injury accident. It is best to allow a doctor with experience in helping personal injury accident victims to help you heal before you settle. Some doctor’s will order physical therapy and massage therapy to help you heal. There are injury types that get worse over time.

Experienced doctors with injuries from trauma caused by a slip and fall or car accident, often have you undergo diagnostic tests like a CT scan or MRI to uncover internal injuries that are not visible on observation by the eye or by a normal X-Ray. Those tests diagnose injuries to your spinal column or to the disc material in your neck, knees, shoulders, and other body parts. Some personal injuries will not heal without medical care such as epidural blocks or surgery. Some personal injury like damage to nerves in the wrists or brain may continually get worse. Most important for you to understand is you need to rely on and trust your North Las Vegas Personal Injury Lawyer to do a good job for you and resolve the issues caused by your North Las Vegas Personal Injury accident.

Postpone Payment Of Your Medical Bills

The doctor’s receptionist consistently asks for payment prior to the doctor’s exam, especially when you have no medical insurance. It is more difficult to pay for medical bills after a North Las Vegas Personal Injury accident, leaving you out of work or causing you to work less hours. An experienced North Las Vegas personal injury lawyer will quickly sign the doctor lien form, usually received by fax and fax it right back. This creates trust in the doctor for payment upon settlement of your personal injury case. The doctor will also feel that your lawyer has confidence in winning your case and paying their bill. This in turn results in the doctor’s office providing all needed medical help without fear of being stuck without the bill getting paid. Doctors that provide MRI’s (Magnetic Resonance Imaging-sophisticated X-Ray’s) and other types of tests also take signed letters of protection from the lawyer and calmly wait for payment out of the settlement. It is important to allow you to heal from your injuries while delaying payment until settlement. It is important to sign up with a North Las Vegas personal injury lawyer such as Jack Bernstein who consistently helps his clients with North Las Vegas personal injury accident problems, and helps you to get the medical care needed for a full recovery. The Nevada Bar Association has rules governing lawyers which force a lawyer with a signed letter of protection to pay the doctor out of the settlement money or face discipline for not doing so.

A doctor’s office will usually only provide medical care and wait for payment if a North Las Vegas personal injury lawyer sign’s the lien because only a Nevada lawyer must follow those rules. If someone other than a lawyer signed the lien letter and did not pay the doctor out of the settlement, the doctor would be forced to hire a lawyer to sue for their money. Few doctors will take that chance and provide medical care while waiting to get paid when a North Las Vegas personal injury lawyer like Jack Bernstein of Bernstein and Poisson, hasn’t signed and returned their guarantee of payment legal form.

A Funding Company Can Loan Money With a Lawyer

Several private funding companies lend money to you with the security of getting their money back out of your North Las Vegas personal injury accident only if your lawyer signs documents in agreement to pay them out of the settlement. Funding companies will write a check to a North Las Vegas Personal injury accident victim if the personal injury lawyer agrees to honor the loan documents the funding business has you sign. The loan agreement requires repayment of the loan out of the cash you win. The Nevada bar association rules have the North Las Vegas personal injury lawyer write a check to the loan company directly out of the trust account holding your settlement. If a North Las Vegas Personal Injury Lawyer did not sign the funding agreement, the funding business would need to pay a lawyer to sue you to recover their money. A funding company will not risk their money that way. Therefore only when a North Las Vegas Personal Injury lawyer signs an agreement to repay the loan out of the case will they lend you money before your case settles.

North Las Vegas Personal Injury Lawyer Advantage

It helps to keep in mind prior to hiring a North Las Vegas Personal Injury Lawyer how insurance companies strategize paying the least money possible to settle your case. The insurance company employees work as a team to create the best strategy for paying you the least money possible to sign the release documents. The team is made up of an adjuster, a supervisor, and the claims manager. On bigger cases their team may include a regional manager, out of state home office managers, claims committees and even the company vice president. The higher level managers and home office typically is involved in personal injury accident cases with values exceeding $100,000. Then they do written evaluations and hold meetings to discuss the way the accident happened and the injury you suffered in the North Las Vegas accident. They talk about any weaknesses and strengths your personal injury case has including prior injuries, prior accidents, and the experience and willingness of your lawyers to fight them in court if they lowball you. An important part of their discussion is whether you have a North Las Vegas Personal Injury Lawyer. When handling your own personal injury accident, a signal is sent to the insurance company team that a non lawyer will not have the knowledge or skill needed to bring a lawsuit in the Clark County District Court when the insurance company offers you a low offer for your North Las Vegas Personal Injury case. The insurance company team knows it takes a North Las Vegas personal injury lawyer who is highly experienced to bring a lawsuit in the Clark County District Court. They know that non- lawyers won’t be aware of the laws, local rules and customs necessary to oppose the insurance company lawyer. Insurance adjusters and insurance defense lawyers both have licenses and experience in preventing you from getting a personal injury cash settlement at the top value range for your North Las Vegas Personal Injury accident. If you have an accident while visiting North Las Vegas and return to your state, you shouldn’t hire a personal injury lawyer not admitted to the Nevada bar (The lawyer has to pass the Nevada bar exam which is the second most difficult in the United States with a failure rate of nearly 50%). The insurance company employees will discuss whether you have a lawyer not admitted to the Nevada bar. There is risk that your unlicensed out of state personal injury lawyer might ask for your agreement to a low offer (without you being aware of that) since only a lawyer licensed in Nevada can file a lawsuit in the Clark County District court.
