Last month, someone reached out to our office looking for a second opinion. She had hired an attorney several months previous, but had never met him. In fact, she had never spoken to him. She had initially met with a paralegal. After that, a case manager was her only point of contact. She felt unheard, uneasy, and unrepresented.

At Heaton & Associates, your first meeting (and often your first call) is with an attorney. While we have marvelous staff members who may work on your claim, they do not impede access to your lawyer. If you want to provide an update, ask a question, or simply check that everything is still on track, your attorney will take that call.

Personal injury law can become dangerously impersonal. Who you hire matters.

Today we received an email offer for Google reviews. That's right. I can buy 10 reviews from local profiles for $169. Or 20 reviews for $319. It's ridiculous, but more common than you might imagine. So this is a brief reminder that our reviews are 100% genuine. Take a look on Google or Yelp, and see why people trust us when everything is on the line.

After a crash, I often hear new clients say something along the lines of "I should be ok... I have full coverage." However, it turns out very few people actually know what that means.

What is full coverage?

Full coverage on your auto policy means that you have both collision and comprehensive coverages to address damage to your car. In other words, your car will be covered in the event of a crash, theft, vandalism, falling objects (tree branches), etc. The important thing to remember is that full coverage pertains to damaged property only.

What it does NOT cover is a much longer list:

1. It does not cover your own medical bills;

2. It does not cover your own pain, suffering, inconvenience, or
emotional distress;

3. It does not cover lost wages if you have to miss work;

4. It does not pay expenses related to a rental vehicle;

5. It does not cover anyone else's medical bills;

6. It does not cover anyone else's pain, suffering, inconvenience,
or emotional distress; and

7. It does not mean that you have adequate coverage in the event
that you cause a crash.

In short, the phrase "full coverage" is a salesman's term used to inspire confidence that the policy being sold will meet the insured's needs. There's no doubt everybody should have full coverage, but most people need much more.

If you're not sure about the status of your coverages, Alec Shugarman at All Kinds of Insurance can be a terrific resource. He can review your assets and policy coverages, then shop several companies to find the lowest price for what you need.

When it comes to car insurance, most people are concerned with two things: coverage and cost. A bird's-eye summary of both can be found on the declarations page, typically within the first few pages of the policy documents. It is what follows that can be dangerous - fifty or so pages of detailed conditions that must be met to actually collect the benefits you expect. Below is one example.

I was recently contacted about a situation where a man was rear-ended by someone who then fled the scene. The victim carried uninsured motorist coverage (UM) on his policy, intended to protect him in that exact scenario. However, unknown to him was a brief provision requiring that the incident be reported to police within 24 hours, and to the insurer within 30 days. Failure to comply with either requirement would void the coverage.

This led to the insurer sending a letter stating: "It is questionable whether there has been compliance with the provision of the policy concerning reporting of a hit-and-run accident..."

Fortunately, we resolved the issue for our client. Others are not so lucky, most often because they don't know what questions to ask. At Heaton & Associates, we know both the questions and the answers, empowering you as a consumer, and ensuring that the law works for you rather than against you. Call Today. 702.850.5000

In the last few months, I have encountered several people who regretted settling claims with insurance companies on their own shortly after an injury. They came to me only after realizing that their injuries and/or medical bills were worse than expected.

Put simply, there is no way for an insurer to determine the appropriate value of a claim within only weeks of an injury. Adjusters' efforts to settle claims so quickly are self-serving and predatory. Unfortunately, the most vulnerable (hurt, in a financial bind, risk losing their jobs, etc.) are also the most commonly victimized.

Fortunately, Nevada has made some headway in offering much needed protections. Specifically, you can void a settlement release within sixty (60) days if (1) you originally signed the release within thirty (30) days of the event that caused your injury; and (2) you signed the release without the assistance of an attorney.

There is specific criteria for how to void the release, and any money paid by the insurance company must be returned. Still, this is a tremendous "2nd chance" given to many in need.

After an injury, whether you have settled or not, we are happy to assess your situation with a free case review. Even if you decide to move forward on your own, you can do so better educated about your claim and the options available to you. Call today!
