Quick Nevada law quiz. The answer surprises most people who haven't been through a claim before.

The correct answer is B. Nevada is a modified comparative fault state, which means you can still recover damages as long as you were less than 50% responsible for the accident. Your payout gets reduced by your share of fault.

So if a jury finds you 30% at fault for a crash that caused $100,000 in damages, you can still recover up to $70,000. At 49% at fault, you recover 51%. Hit 50%, and you're out.

Most people assume any fault at all kills their case. In Nevada, that's not how it works.

The white car never touched anyone. So who's really at fault here?

Nevada has rules for this. Phantom vehicles, chain-reaction collisions, and "no-contact" cases all live in their own corner of personal injury law. The car that caused the chain doesn't get a free pass because it kept driving, but proving that to an insurance company is a different conversation entirely.

Drop your answer in the comments. We'll respond with how courts in Nevada usually sort fault in scenarios like this.

After an injury claim is filed, the other side's insurance company often asks for medical records going back years. Sometimes they ask for everything.

Here's how it actually works in Nevada. The other party's insurance is generally entitled to records related to the body parts and conditions you're claiming were injured by their client. They are not entitled to your full medical history just because you filed a claim. Old records about unrelated treatment can be off-limits, and broad requests for them are a common move designed to either dig up something to use against you or pressure you into accepting less.

The right way to handle a records request is with a lawyer reviewing what they're asking for and why. Releasing your full medical history because someone faxed over a broad authorization form is almost always a mistake.

If you're in a claim and the other side is asking for records, call or text us at (702) 852-6688 before you sign anything.

The most common reason injured people wait too long to call a lawyer is the assumption that the lawyer is going to take most of the recovery.

The data points the other way. Independent studies of personal injury claims have consistently found that people who hire an attorney recover meaningfully more than people who settle directly with insurance, even after attorney fees come out.

A few reasons for that gap. Insurance companies use internal formulas designed to offer unrepresented claimants less. Settlements without counsel tend to come in lower across the board. And a lawyer can negotiate medical liens down, which means more of whatever you recover is actually yours to keep.

At Willoughby Shulman, we work on contingency. You pay nothing upfront, and if we don't win, you don't pay attorney fees. Costs and expenses may apply, and we walk through exactly how that works before you commit to anything.

Questions about how the math would work in your specific case? Call or text us at (702) 852-6688. No pressure, no fee to talk.



Costs and expenses may apply. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. Each case is unique.

Who do you think is at fault here?

Three parties, three different theories of liability, and Nevada law treats this kind of layered scenario differently than most people assume.

Can your employer fire you for taking time off after an injury?

In most cases involving a covered workplace injury, the answer is no, but the rules are layered. Nevada law prohibits firing someone in retaliation for filing a workers' comp claim. Federal FMLA protects job-protected medical leave for eligible employees. The ADA requires accommodations for qualifying disabilities. Each of those operates differently and applies to different situations.

The murkier reality is that employers sometimes fire injured workers under cover of "performance" or "attendance" issues. Whether that holds up legally depends on documentation, timing, and what was said in writing.

If you're injured and worried about your job, get legal eyes on it before anything official goes in writing. Free consultation anytime, (702) 852-6688.

Beyond car damage, you need to capture what we call "perishable" evidence before it disappears.

Skid marks fade. Debris gets cleaned up by maintenance crews within hours. Surveillance footage from nearby businesses gets overwritten on a 30 to 90 day loop. Witnesses leave town, change jobs, change phone numbers. The traffic light timing or signal pattern at the intersection can change after a city audit.

The first 24 to 72 hours after a crash is when most of the case-changing evidence either gets preserved or gets lost forever. If you're injured and you can't go back to the scene yourself, that's a job for a lawyer.

Witness contact info matters. Witness video matters more.

People forget. They get pulled into their own week. They take phone calls from adjusters who want to "clarify" the story. Memories shift in ways that almost always benefit whoever is paying for the legal team. A 30-second video taken at the scene, with the witness describing what they saw in their own words, locks the version of events to the day it happened.

Save this for the next time you're at a scene with witnesses, or share it with someone who drives a lot.

Most personal injury cases take months to settle. Medical bills don't wait that long.

The short answer is that there are usually a few ways to keep providers from sending you to collections in the meantime. Your own health insurance can cover treatment now and get reimbursed later. Some doctors and hospitals will agree to a medical lien, which means they wait for the settlement and get paid out of your recovery. If you have MedPay or Personal Injury Protection on your auto policy, that can cover early bills regardless of fault.

Which option fits depends on your case, your coverage, and the providers involved. Part of what we do is sequence those conversations so you're not getting collection calls while you're trying to recover.

If you're already feeling that pressure, call or text us at (702) 852-6688 for a free consultation.

How long do you actually have to file an injury claim in Nevada?

Two years from the date of the accident. That's the statute of limitations under NRS 11.202, and if you miss that window, the court can refuse to hear your case no matter how strong it is.

There are a few narrow exceptions (claims involving minors, certain government defendants, cases where the injury wasn't reasonably discoverable at the time), but for your standard Vegas fender-bender or slip at a casino, the two-year clock starts the day it happened.

If you're getting close to your own deadline and you're not sure where things stand, call or text us at (702) 852-6688 for a free consultation.
