Personal Injury Compensation

At Benson, Bertoldo, Baker & Carter, we pride ourselves on how we handle our clients. Our personal injury lawyers emphasize a compassionate approach to the person injured. And, we believe in working with the clients themselves, rather than having our staff work with the clients. It is this attention to the client as an individual that allows us to present the best evidence possible and the most persuasive arguments to juries, and it is also how we are able to get the maximum compensation for our injured clients.

In personal injury lawsuits, an injured person may be compensated for:

Pain and suffering
Medical expenses
Loss of past and future wages
Loss of earning potential
Medical insurance costs

Our attorneys emphasize that in the case of personal injury, it is important for the injured person to visit the doctor as soon as possible after the accident, both for treatment, but also to ensure that the doctor takes detailed notes that can be useful at a trial later on.

It is also important to retain a lawyer as soon after the accident as possible. Nevada law has a statute of limitations on how long after an accident a person can sue. Other important actions to take after an accident include:

Report the accident to the police immediately
Obtain personal information about the accident from the other driver(s) involved (including names, phone numbers, insurance information, car make, and model)
Obtain names and phone numbers of anyone witnessing the accident
Take photos of the accident site, if possible
