Car accident claims are personal injury civil cases. They may be settled out of court or at trial. For more information about your rights in a Nevada personal injury claim, contact us for a free consultation.
If you have been seriously injured in a car accident in Nevada that was someone else’s fault, you should hire a lawyer to help you negotiate and recover the maximum compensation you are entitled to. Without a lawyer advocating for your rights and holding negligent parties accountable, the insurance company may offer you a very low amount. Remember that if you accept any settlement, you waive any future rights to compensation.
Yes, personal injury cases are civil cases. In some cases, where the other driver was drunk or drugged or being exceptionally reckless, the driver may also face criminal charges, which is completely separate from a personal injury case.
The best strategy for a positive outcome in settlement is to prepare every personal injury case as if it will go to trial. Judges use pretrial conferences to clarify issues at dispute and encourage parties to settle cases. If a case has been property documented and prepared, the plaintiff will have a better chance of obtaining an ideal settlement offer.
Yes, personal injury cases can and do go to trial. If you hire an attorney, you should make sure your attorney has taken cases to trial and is comfortable going to court if a settlement is not reached. Courts always encourage out of court settlements, as trials are a huge expense and  burden on the legal system. Settlements are ideal for the simple reason that trials can be unpredictable, and there are no guarantees.
Generally, personal injury settlements are not taxable, as you are being made whole for injuries and not compensated for work. However, recoveries for lost wages / income may be taxable, so it is possible that there will be partial tax liability for your personal injury settlement.  If you were injured in 2019 and paid $30,000 in medical expenses, and then deducted $30,000 on your 2019 tax return for medical expenses, $30,000 of the personal injury settlement you receive in 2020 may be taxable.
A personal injury case is typically filed in the county where the accident occurred, or where the responsible party (the defendant) lives. If you hire an attorney, the attorney will do all of the procedural work for you, allowing you to rest and recover without the stress and anxiety of working on your case. The case will likely be resolved by settlement (out of court), but in some cases a trial may be necessary. Your attorney will explain the legal process and your rights and options to pursue compensation.
