Since state law requires Nevada drivers to have liability insurance, in most cases, car accident victims will file a claim with an insurance company. However, suppose the driver’s insurance lapsed, or they were driving without insurance. In that case, the only way to recover damages involves seizing assets.
It can also be more complicated to determine if you’re dealing with an injury insurance claim if you had a different type of accident. Suppose you suffered a slip and fall accident in a store. You can pursue a premises liability case and seek compensation from the store’s insurance company. However, if you suffered a slip and fall accident at a private residence, you could discover the homeowner doesn’t have liability insurance.
Ask for insurance information when you have your accident. Suppose the at-fault party fails to provide insurance information. In that case, your injury attorney may be able to compel the at-fault party to provide that information.
