Bertoldo Carter Smith & Cullen works tirelessly to provide the best outcome available for each of our client’s unique cases and claims, so we are doing more than simply providing successful results; we are helping to change lives.

Personal Injury FAQ

  • Q:How Do I Know If I Have A Personal Injury Case?

    A:If you have been hurt because of another person’s negligent actions or inactions, you may have a personal injury case that will allow you to pursue financial compensation for lost wages, medical expenses, and other damages, which is why you should hire a Las Vegas personal injury attorney to review your injuries and the negligent circumstances that caused them.

  • Q:How Much Is My Personal Injury Case Worth?

    A:Determining how much your Nevada personal injury case is worth requires a complete evaluation of your injuries and the medical care you will need now and going forward. We will also determine the complete extent of your economic damages, including lost wages and property damage, so you are not left paying for any expenses out of pocket. Each personal injury case is unique and requires a full investigation to ensure no detail is left to chance.

  • Q:How Long Does A Personal Injury Lawsuit Take To Reach A Settlement?

    A:Since all personal injury cases are unique, your personal injury claim will produce results once all the facts are available to begin negotiations. Our Las Vegas personal injury lawyers will work directly with the negligent party’s insurance company to reach a quick resolution through a settlement negotiation or pursue your claim at trial.

  • Q:Will My Personal Injury Case Go To Trial?

    A:Most personal injury cases do not proceed to trial. Most personal injury cases can be resolved through settlement negotiations. When those negotiations break down or our attorneys do not believe our clients are getting the best outcome, we have decades of legal experience to succeed inside the courtroom.

  • Q:How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim?

    A:In the State of Nevada, personal injury victims have two years from the date their injury occurred to file a personal injury claim. It is important to file a claim within the allotted time, or the courts will almost certainly – in nearly all cases – refuse an extension.
