In a matter of seconds, an auto accident can cause devastating property damage and traumatic injuries. Victims often face an uphill climb to recovery. Some cannot afford their medical bills, and the loss of income leads to overwhelming debt. Detail of a beauty and fast car with headlight According to Nevada Revised Statutes, if a person suffers an injury due to a wrongful act of another person, then the at-fault party is liable for damages. If you were injured due to another driver’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for time off work, health-care expenses and noneconomic losses. If the crash happened in Nevada, contact a Las Vegas auto accident lawyer from Ed Bernstein & Associates. Our firm has been representing the injured for more than 40 years. Call 702-240-0000 to schedule a free consultation. You can also visit https://accident.usattorneys.com/ to learn more about injury lawsuits. Here is a brief overview of three types of damages that may be available in a personal injury claim:

Lost Wages

Many accidents force victims to take time off work while they recover. If your injury prevented you from working, then you can claim compensation for lost income. You can also claim compensation for future loss of income if the injury reduces your future earning capacity.

Medical Expenses

Accident injuries can cost a veritable fortune to treat. Injuries to the spine, neck and head often require long-term rehabilitation. Some victims require a lifetime of medical support. The person who caused your accident may be liable for these expenses. In addition to the immediate medical treatment, the liable party may have to pay for future health-care expenses.

Pain and Suffering

Car accident injuries can significantly reduce a victim’s quality of life. This is especially true if a crash causes permanent injuries, scarring or disfigurement. According to the Department of Motor Vehicles, accident victims may be entitled to compensation for noneconomic damages such as emotional distress and pain and suffering. Calculating noneconomic damages can be complicated. Your auto accident lawyer may multiply your economic losses, which include health-care bills and lost income, by a multiplier between one and five to determine your noneconomic damages. A Personal-Injury Lawyer Can Protect Your Interests Recovering compensation after an auto accident is often a complicated process. The at-fault party may deny liability, or the insurance company could offer a settlement that does not cover your future losses. A personal-injury lawyer can help you avoid mistakes such as settling for an amount that is less than what you deserve. An attorney can also handle correspondence with insurance companies so you do not unknowingly admit fault. If you were injured by a negligent driver in Nevada, contact a Las Vegas auto accident lawyer from Ed Bernstein & Associates. We can evaluate your case, talk to witnesses and aggressively fight for the maximum compensation. Our law firm has helped more than 25,000 injured clients.
