Injury Law
From auto and motorcycle accidents to medical malpractice, defective products and work-related accidents, victims of personal injuries can be left facing long-term, devastating consequences that will likely affect them on a physical, emotional and financial level. Personal injury law in Nevada stipulates that those who sustain a personal injury due to any type of negligence, carelessness or recklessness will be entitled to compensation for their injuries and losses. Recoverable compensation may include medical bills, property damage, lost wages and pain and suffering.
