How We Help With Civil Legal Matters
When legal disputes affect your life, you need representation that understands Nevada courts and fights for your rights. We handle civil litigation across multiple practice areas, from personal injury claims to wrongful death cases. Each service addresses specific legal challenges Las Vegas residents face after accidents, insurance disputes, or family tragedies. Our attorneys know Clark County procedures and build strategies based on your unique situation. Below are the civil law services we offer to help you recover what you lost and hold responsible parties accountable.
Tort Claims in Las Vegas
You file a tort claim when someone else’s wrongful actions cause you harm. Car crashes, unsafe property conditions, dog attacks, and intentional acts all fall under tort law. Nevada uses a modified comparative negligence rule—you can collect damages as long as you’re less than 51% at fault. We prove that the other party caused your injury and demand full compensation.
Wrongful Death Settlements
Wrongful death claims help families recover funeral costs, lost income, and compensation for suffering after losing someone to another person’s negligence or intentional harm. Nevada law limits who can file—typically spouses, children, or parents of the deceased. We guide families through the legal process and the emotional weight of pursuing justice after a tragic loss.
Lost Income Recovery
Lost income recovery compensates injury victims who are unable to work or earn less due to someone else’s actions. Your claim can include missed paychecks, lost promotions, reduced earning capacity, and benefits. Cases in Spring Valley and Henderson often involve service industry workers with irregular income. We calculate past and future wage losses, then fight for full payment.
Motorist Insurance Claims
Motorist insurance claims litigation challenges denied claims, lowball offers, or bad faith tactics. Nevada requires minimum liability coverage, but many Las Vegas drivers remain underinsured. We negotiate aggressively with insurers and take them to court when they refuse to honor valid claims. Your insurer has a duty to act in good faith—we hold them accountable.
Damages Recovery
Damages recovery ensures plaintiffs get payment for every loss they suffered. Compensatory damages cover medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property loss. Punitive damages punish extreme misconduct when justified. Nevada law caps punitive damages in most cases. We identify all available damage types, prove their value, and demand full payment.
Free Case Evaluation
General civil legal advice helps you evaluate potential claims or defenses before taking action. We review your situation, explain your rights, and outline possible legal strategies. Nevada’s statute of limitations sets strict deadlines—personal injury cases typically allow two years from the date of injury. Early consultation protects your rights and helps you understand realistic outcomes.
Civil Trial Lawyer
Civil trial lawyer services provide experienced courtroom advocacy when settlement negotiations fail. We present evidence, cross-examine witnesses, and argue before judges or juries. Jury trials in Clark County require storytelling adapted to local community values. Trial preparation includes selecting favorable jurors and building persuasive arguments that protect your interests under pressure.
Wrongful Death Estate and Probate Claims
Wrongful death estate and probate claims coordinate overlapping legal processes when families pursue compensation while managing estate issues. Nevada probate courts in Summerlin and North Las Vegas handle these matters. Estate claims recover damages on behalf of the deceased’s estate, separate from family members’ claims. We work with estate representatives to maximize recovery for all affected parties.
