Boulder City Personal Injury Attorneys

Do You Have a Personal Injury Case? Find Out in 30 Seconds

Before diving into complex legal details, let’s answer the question you’re really asking: Is what happened to me something an attorney can help with?

Ask yourself these three questions:

1. Were you injured due to someone else’s actions or negligence? This includes drivers who caused accidents, property owners who allowed dangerous conditions, manufacturers of defective products, dog owners whose pets attacked, or anyone whose carelessness led to your injury.

2. Did you need medical treatment for your injuries? Whether you went to Boulder City Hospital, a Las Vegas emergency room, urgent care, or your doctor—if you needed medical attention, your injuries are significant enough to matter legally.

3. Has it been less than two years since the incident? Nevada generally gives you two years to file a personal injury claim (three years for property damage). The sooner you act, the stronger your case.

If you answered yes to all three, you likely have a case worth pursuing.

Common situations that create valid personal injury claims:

• A driver ran a red light and hit your car
• You slipped on a wet floor with no warning sign
• A dog attacked you unprovoked
• A defective product caused your injury
• Someone’s negligence led to a loved one’s death
• You were hurt on unsafe property
• Medical malpractice caused additional harm

Not sure if your situation qualifies? That’s exactly why we offer free consultations. If we can’t help, we’ll tell you honestly and point you in the right direction. The worst thing you can do is assume you don’t have a case without asking.

Your Rights After Any Injury in Boulder City

Nevada law protects injury victims more than insurance companies want you to know. Understanding these protections helps level the playing field when you’re fighting for fair compensation.

Nevada Law Protects You More Than You Think

You don’t have to be perfect to deserve compensation. Nevada follows “modified comparative negligence” rules. This means even if you were partially at fault, you can still recover damages—as long as you weren’t MORE than 50% responsible.

Example: You’re hit by a speeding driver while crossing outside a crosswalk. You might be found 20% at fault, but you can still recover 80% of your damages. The speeding driver can’t escape responsibility just because you weren’t perfect.

Insurance adjusters will try to exaggerate your role to reduce what they pay. They’ll claim you “should have been more careful” or “contributed to your injuries.” Don’t accept their version—let us fight for the true story.

Time Limits That Matter

Missing deadlines can eliminate your rights regardless of how badly you’re hurt:

2 Years – Most personal injury claims (from the date of injury)
3 Years – Property damage claims
Shorter Deadlines – Some cases involving government entities require notice within 6 months

But here’s what really matters: Evidence disappears fast. Security footage gets overwritten in days. Witnesses forget details in weeks. Physical evidence at accident scenes vanishes quickly. The sooner you protect your rights, the stronger your case becomes.

What Compensation Really Covers

Most people drastically underestimate their damages. Full compensation includes:

Economic Damages:

• All medical expenses (emergency, surgery, therapy, medications)
• Future medical care you’ll need
• Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
• Property damage
• Out-of-pocket costs related to your injury

Non-Economic Damages:

• Physical pain and suffering
• Emotional distress and mental anguish
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Permanent disability or disfigurement
• Impact on relationships

Boulder City Specific Costs:

• Travel to Las Vegas specialists
• Lodging for family during treatment
• Higher costs due to limited local options
• Time lost to longer medical trips

Don’t let insurance companies convince you that a few thousand dollars covers everything. Real compensation addresses all the ways an injury disrupts your life.

Critical Steps After Any Injury in Boulder City

What you do in the days after getting hurt can make or break your case. Here’s your action plan:

Immediate Priorities

1. Get the right medical help Boulder City Hospital can stabilize emergencies, but serious injuries often need Las Vegas specialists. Don’t tough it out—insurance companies use delays against you. Create a medical record from day one.

2. Document everything possible Photos of the scene, your injuries, and what caused them. Names of witnesses. Details while they’re fresh. But never risk further injury trying to gather evidence.

3. Report to the right authorities Car accidents need police reports. Slip and falls need incident reports. Dog bites need animal control. Get official documentation.

4. Be careful with insurance communication They’ll call quickly, sounding helpful. Give basic facts only. No recorded statements. No guessing. And definitely no social media posts about your accident.

Evidence That Wins Cases

Strong evidence overcomes insurance company games:

Photos tell the story – Visible injuries, dangerous conditions, vehicle damage. Take photos over time as bruises develop and injuries heal (or don’t).

Medical records prove your pain – Every appointment, prescription, and therapy session documents your suffering. Gaps in treatment become weapons against you.

Your daily journal matters – “Couldn’t sleep from back pain.” “Missed daughter’s recital – couldn’t sit that long.” These notes make injuries real.

Witnesses beat assumptions – Neutral people who saw what happened destroy “he said, she said” arguments.

Common Mistakes That Hurt Your Case

“I’m fine” at the scene – Adrenaline masks pain. These words haunt cases months later.

Giving recorded statements alone – Every word gets twisted to reduce your claim.

Quick settlement acceptance – That fast check won’t cover future surgery or lasting pain.

Waiting too long – Evidence vanishes. Memories fade. Insurance companies claim delays prove you weren’t really hurt.

Why Insurance Companies Fight Personal Injury Claims

Insurance companies are billion-dollar businesses with one goal: pay as little as possible. They’ve perfected tactics to minimize every type of injury claim.

Their Playbook

Minimize your injuries: “Soft tissue damage” sounds better than “can’t turn my neck without pain.” They’ll make devastating injuries sound minor on paper.

Shift blame to you: You slipped and fell? “You weren’t watching where you were going.” Hit by a car? “You must have been distracted.” They profit when victims accept blame.

Delay until you’re desperate: Dragging out claims works. Bills pile up. Pressure mounts. Suddenly their lowball offer looks tempting.

Use your words against you: That friendly adjuster? They’re building a case against you. “I’m doing better” becomes proof you’re fully healed.

How Jack Bernstein Protects You

No more insurance harassment. Once you hire us, they can’t contact you directly. No more pressure tactics or trick questions.

Real claim valuation. They offer $5,000 for your injury? We document every cost, every impact, every future need. Suddenly your claim is worth $50,000 or more.

Evidence they can’t ignore. While they make assumptions, we build proof. Medical experts. Accident reconstruction. Whatever it takes to show the truth.

Trial-ready reputation. Insurance companies know Jack will go to court. After 40 years, they’d rather pay fair settlements than face him before a jury.

The insurance company has teams of lawyers protecting their money. Shouldn’t you have someone protecting your rights?

Frequently Asked Questions

“What if I can’t afford an attorney?”

You can afford Jack Bernstein because you pay nothing unless we win. No upfront fees, no hourly bills, no financial risk. We even advance case costs. Don’t let money concerns stop you from getting help.

“How much is my case worth?”

Every case is unique. Minor-seeming injuries can have major impacts. Severe injuries might heal better than expected. Honest evaluation requires reviewing medical records, understanding your life impact, and calculating future needs. Beware any attorney who guesses without careful analysis.

“What if I was partially at fault?”

As long as you weren’t MORE than 50% responsible, you can still recover damages. Your compensation reduces by your fault percentage. At 20% fault with $100,000 in damages, you’d receive $80,000. Don’t let insurance companies exaggerate your role.

“How long will my case take?”

Most cases settle in 6-18 months. Simple cases with clear fault and good insurance can resolve faster. Complex cases or stubborn insurance companies take longer. We work efficiently while ensuring you get full value—quick settlements usually mean small settlements.

“What if the person who hurt me doesn’t have insurance?”

We explore every option: your uninsured motorist coverage, umbrella policies, business liability if they were working, property owner responsibility. Limited insurance doesn’t mean limited options.

“Should I accept the insurance company’s offer?”

First offers are almost always lowballs—typically 20-40% of real value. Once you sign, you can never get more, even if complications arise. Always have offers professionally evaluated first.
