How A Personal Injury Attorney Near You Can Help

Personal injury law is based on the concept that organizations or people are financially responsible when they harm another person through intentional action or negligence.
These cases are more likely to involve negligence than intentional harm. When you hire our Seven Hills personal injury law firm, we will likely focus on proving the other party was negligent. This means showing that all of the following are true:
- The defendant had a duty to protect you from injury
- The defendant failed to perform that duty
- That failure resulted in your injuries
- You suffered meaningful financial losses due to those injuries
To prepare to prove negligence, we’ll investigate your accident, gather physical evidence, and interview witnesses. The more evidence we can uncover to show that the defendant acted irresponsibly, the more likely you are to get fair compensation.
We also work closely with the doctors and other medical professionals who provide you with medical attention after a serious injury. Medical records and bills are critical to proving you suffered meaningful financial losses.
While we will represent you in court if necessary, we can resolve most cases without going to trial. Our legal team is adept at negotiating settlements with insurance companies. A negotiated settlement can result in you getting the money you need for recovery much more quickly than you would in a trial.

Common Types Of Personal Injury Claims
Personal injury law covers many situations in which one party injures another intentionally or negligently. The injuries don’t have to be physical. Libel and slander, for example, are types of personal injury cases. However, damage to property does not constitute an injury in a personal injury claim.
Most personal injury cases, though, involve physical injuries. The following are some of the most common types of personal injury claims we handle at our law firm.
Dog Bites
If you are bitten by a dog near Rossini Park, contact our legal team immediately. We will investigate to determine whether the owner was aware that the dog posed a threat. If they were, they may be required to compensate you for the dog bite.
Premises Liability
When you legally enter premises that belong to another party, you have the right to be reasonably safe. This means that business owners, for example, should warn you of or remove any hazards they know about. If you are injured at another property, contact our legal team to discuss whether you qualify for a premises liability claim.
Vehicle Accidents
Even if you don’t want to sue the other driver, an experienced personal injury lawyer can help you get fair compensation after a vehicle accident. Our lawyers have decades of experience moving claims forward through complicated processes. We can help you avoid common pitfalls so you get fair compensation when needed.
Workers’ Compensation
If you suffer any type of injury while at work or performing work duties, you should be eligible for workers’ compensation benefits from your employer’s insurance provider. Our legal team can help file your claim and fight the insurance company if you are unfairly denied the benefits you are due.

What You Need To Know About Filing A Personal Injury Claim In Seven Hills
Imagine enjoying a game of golf at the Rio Secco Golf Club. While planning a tricky shot on the 12th hole, a rotten tree limb falls and hits you on the head. Will the club pay for your medical bills? What factors will affect how much money you can get?
These are important questions that an experienced attorney at Adam S. Kutner, Injury Attorneys, can answer. Still, any Nevadan should be aware of the following legal points before filing a personal injury claim.
Statute Of Limitations
According to Nevada law, you have only two years from the date of the injury you suffered to file a personal injury lawsuit against the defendant. This may not seem relevant if you don’t intend to file a lawsuit. Even so, the deadline could be important.
The insurance company understands that you have no legal way to recover compensation once the statute of limitations runs out. If the insurance company can run out the clock, it will never have to pay you any compensation.
When the statute of limitations is getting close to running out, a lawyer will typically recommend filing a lawsuit, even if they intend to negotiate a settlement. Filing this lawsuit stops the clock and ensures that you still have the option to resolve any disputes in a courtroom.
What can you do if the statute of limitations has already passed? That depends on the circumstances of the case. You might be out of luck, but there are situations where the statute of limitations can be extended. If the defendant leaves Nevada, for example, the time they are absent from the state doesn’t count toward the statute of limitations.
Alternatively, the clock will stop under certain conditions. If you were a minor when the incident happened, for example, the statute of limitations will begin to run on your 18th birthday.
Additionally, for someone who is legally insane or who was placed in state custody as a minor (with the exception of incarceration), the statute of limitations will begin running once they are declared competent.
Comparative Negligence
Another aspect of the law that is likely to affect your case is comparative negligence. Under this rule, if you are partially responsible for your injury, you may still be able to get partial compensation from another party.
You can receive compensation only if you are less responsible than all other parties combined. Furthermore, any compensation you receive from a party will be proportionate to how much they contributed to your injury.
Thus, in the golf example above, suppose that a jury determined that the golf club was 90% responsible for injuries that resulted in $100,000 in expenses. Under Nevada’s comparative negligence rule, the golf club would pay you $90,000, and you would be responsible for covering the remaining $10,000.
While this rule technically applies only to the results of a trial verdict, it effectively applies to settlements as well. Insurance companies are aware of these rules and will consider them in any negotiated settlements. This is why our legal team needs to get as much evidence as possible to support your claim, even if we don’t plan to file a lawsuit.
