What Is My Whitney Personal Injury Case  Worth?

Every personal injury case has a monetary value. Money cannot cure your injury or take away your emotional trauma, but it can help you access medical help, recognize your emotional suffering, and help you pay the bills. Several factors will impact how much money you can expect to recover, including:

  • The permanence and severity of your injuries
  • Your medical bills and need for ongoing medical treatment or rehabilitation
  • Your ability to work or earn income
  • Your ability to support and care for your family (financially and non-financially)
  • Your overall quality and enjoyment of life
  • How the accident happened, and if you are partially responsible for causing it
  • If you have emotional trauma or mental illness after the accident
  • If the accident caused property damage

Usually, people who have life-long injuries will recover more money. However, that’s not always the case. We will help you calculate your case worth at the beginning of our work together. This number is a benchmark for negotiations with insurance companies and the defendant. You might recover more (or less) than expected depending on how the case unfolds.

What Compensation Can I Recover After an Accident In Whitney?

A plaintiff hurt in Whitney, NV, can recover compensatory damages. Compensatory damages include economic damages and non-economic damages.

Economic Damages

Economic damages are financial losses. The plaintiff incurs these losses as the direct result of an accident or an injury.

Economic damages generally include:

  • Emergency medical bills
  • Follow-up doctor’s appointments
  • Cost of medicine or therapeutic devices
  • Rehabilitation
  • Physical therapy

We can help you calculate your economic damages by looking at invoices, pay stubs, and credit card statements.

Non-Economic Damages

Non-economic damages are intangible losses. These are harder to calculate because they are emotional and often invisible. Non-economic damages can make up a significant portion of your losses. Non-economic damages include:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional trauma
  • Permanent scarring or disfigurement
  • Loss of quality of life
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Lost wages
  • Lost future earnings
  • Property damage
  • Out-of-pocket expenses
  • Loss of companionship or relationship
  • Mental illness (like PTSD, anxiety, or depression)

There are several ways to calculate non-economic damages. We can estimate the value of your intangible losses so that you request complete compensation.

How Do I Prove Negligence In a Whitney Personal Injury Case?

Negligence is the cornerstone of personal injury law. In most Whitney personal injury cases, our legal team must prove that the defendant was negligent. From the beginning of representation, we will work towards building a strong negligence argument.

Negligence means that someone fails to use reasonable care. As a result of their failure, they caused an accident and the plaintiff incurred injuries. Injuries can be tangible or intangible.

There are four elements to every negligence claim. We must prove that each element is more likely than not true. This is called a preponderance of the evidence.

The four elements are:

  • The defendant owed the plaintiff a duty of care
  • The defendant breached the duty of care
  • The breach caused the plaintiff’s injuries
  • The plaintiff has damages

A defendant breaches their duty of care when they take a risk that causes reasonably foreseeable harm. The defendant doesn’t have to intend to do harm. In fact, in many negligence cases, the defendant didn’t mean to cause any harm. Texting and driving is a great example. Most people who cause accidents while texting don’t mean to hurt someone. 

However, reasonable people know that texting and driving can be quite dangerous. It increases the risk of getting into an accident by taking attention off of the road. That risk is unjustifiable because the risk of hurting other drivers is greater than the benefit of sending a text message. Therefore, the drivers who cause accidents while texting may be negligent and responsible for the plaintiff’s damages. Texting and driving is a relatively simple example. Many negligence cases are much more complicated. A Whitney personal injury lawyer at Cogburn Davidson Car Accident & Personal Injury Lawyers can explain negligence. This includes how negligence applies to your accident case.

What Happens if I Am Blamed for Causing My Accident In Nevada?

Nevada applies a modified comparative fault rule. The rule states that, with some limitations, you can generally still recover compensation if you are responsible for causing the accident. If you are mostly responsible (51% or more), you cannot recover compensation. If you are less than 51% responsible, you can recover proportionate damages. Proportionate damages correlate to your share of liability. If you are 40% responsible, then you can only recover 60% of your damages.

Defendants and their insurance agents usually try to shift blame to the plaintiff in a personal injury case. The goal is to reduce their share of liability and, therefore, their share of the damages. A personal injury attorney can protect you from unfair blame from the beginning of the case. This protection might be the difference between getting a full recovery or nothing at all.

If you haven’t reached out yet to Cogburn Davison I highly recommend you do! I can’t even begin to explain what great customer service I received from when first walking in the door and having the receptionist be so nice and friendly up until my case settled! The attorney Hunter S. Davidson and his paralegal Jessica Mejia were not only friendly and compassionate but they made sure me and my family understood every step of this lawsuit! My father was neglected in a nursing home and I couldn’t find an attorney in Vegas who specialized in these type of cases. Once my friend recommended me to Cogburn Davidson and I saw their exceptional customer service I knew I was in the right place. They were able to get my father and our family the justice he deserved! Don’t hesitate and call Cogburn Davidson, you won’t regret it!

How Much Does It Cost To Hire a Whitney Personal Injury Attorney?

Whitney personal injury attorneys charge a contingency fee. A contingency fee is a unique fee arrangement for personal injury lawyers. It means that payment is contingent upon winning the case. If the lawyer loses, they don’t get paid anything. The payment is proportionate to the damages. Contingency fees are favorable for plaintiffs for many reasons. First, they don’t have to pay anything out of pocket or throughout the case. This helps plaintiffs who are financially struggling to make ends meet after an accident. Furthermore, payment comes entirely from, and is proportionate to, the damages. For example, if the lawyer charges a 35% contingency fee, then they will take 35% of the damages at the end of the case. This motivates lawyers to work hard to win the most money for their clients.

How Much Time Do I Have To File A Personal Injury Lawsuit In Nevada?

You have two years to file a personal injury or wrongful death case in Nevada. This is called the statute of limitations. It is a strict deadline. If you try to file a lawsuit after two years, the judge will dismiss your case in most circumstances. 

A Whitney personal injury lawyer will closely monitor this deadline. If you miss it, you will lose your right to recover money through the court. Call a lawyer immediately after your accident to ensure enough time to prepare your case before filing a lawsuit.
