Yes, you can, but you need to take action now. Nevada law says that you have two (2) years from the time of your accident to file a personal injury claim in court. But you must take into consideration the time it takes to develop the case for a car accident claim, as well as other time limits that may apply.
Personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits are complex. There is time-consuming work that goes into preparing a claim. The investigation behind a lawsuit includes looking into the accident to determine how it happened, and the other driver’s role. This may include technical work by accident reconstruction consultants, as well as work to review police records, interview witnesses and more.
In some cases there is a third party who should be held liable for a car accident. That would require developing a separate claim before time runs out.
The other key work required in a personal injury investigation is determining your losses so we know how much compensation to ask for. Compensation you are due may include money to repair or replace your car, pay your medical bills, cover lost wages during your recovery and compensate you for your pain and suffering. This requires study of your medical records by experts who can project future medical costs and losses in cases of serious injury or disability. For cases of permanent disability, your projected costs would be outlined in a full life-care plan.
Each case is different, and some can be developed and settled faster than others. But it is always better to get started as soon as possible. We urge you to contact Gazda & Tadayon about your case today.
