    Why Do You Need A Black Hills Personal Injury Lawyer?

    A personal injury attorney is writing down notes about a case at his desk. Next to him is the scales of justice.

    Personal injury claims are handled under civil and tort laws, which can be rather complex. You also have to negotiate with insurance companies, insurance adjusters, and their teams of lawyers. Attempting to do this on your own will limit how much compensation you receive.

    Insurance companies, adjusters, and their lawyers are skilled at using various tactics to reduce or even deny your claim. While they may seem overly friendly and helpful, it is vital to remember their primary goal is to get you to settle for the least amount possible. After all, they are in business to earn a profit, not pay out large settlement claims. 

    Obtaining assistance from our Black Hills personal injury law firm helps even the playing field in your favor. Our experienced lawyers know precisely how insurance companies work and use this knowledge to ensure you receive a favorable settlement.

    • Do you work on a contingency basis, so I don’t need a retainer upfront?

    What Is Required To Prove Negligence?

    There are three key elements one must prove to establish negligence in Nevada and demonstrate the other party was at fault for your injuries:

    • Duty of care: It must be established if the at-fault party owed you a duty of care. This requires looking at their actions or lack thereof and determining if they resulted in the accident.
    • Breach of duty of care: You must also prove the at-fault party breached their duty, meaning they failed to act reasonably to prevent the accident and your injuries.
    • Damages: You must have actual financial damages, such as medical expenses, lost income, or property repair or replacement costs.  

    What Damages Can You Seek In A Personal Injury Claim?

    You are entitled to seek monetary and non-monetary damages as part of your personal injury claim. Monetary damages are those that have an actual dollar figure, such as:

    • Medical expenses, including prescriptions, medical devices, rehab, and ongoing care
    • Mental health counseling and therapy
    • Current and future lost wages
    • Loss of benefits
    • Property damages

    Non-monetary damages are those that do not have an actual dollar amount but can be claimed as well, like:

    • Pain and suffering
    • Mental anguish
    • Loss of consortium
    • Loss of companionship
