If you have recently been in a car accident you may be wondering how much you can get in a settlement. This is a fair question, especially as you start to face mounting medical bills and other unexpected expenses.

At Shook & Stone, we understand that every case is unique, and our seasoned car accident attorneys are here to help you maximize your settlement options. Here is some insight into how we evaluate claims and what factors can influence the amount you may receive in a car accident settlement.

What Factors Determine My Settlement Amount?

Several key elements can impact the value of a car accident claim. Here are the things that our team at Shook & Stone will look at:

Medical Expenses

Medical costs can make up a large part of a car accident claim, depending on the severity of the accident. This includes both current and future expenses related to the injuries inflicted by the crash.

Lost Wages and Future Earnings

If you have been injured in a car accident, you may have been forced to miss some work, which results in lost wages. In some cases, you are unable to return to the job that you were performing before the accident, resulting in reduced future earnings. Our attorneys will make sure that both are included so that you are fairly compensated for the impact this accident has had on your career.

Pain and Suffering

Nevada law allows you to pursue compensation for physical pain, emotional distress, and reduced quality of life caused by a car accident, and our team can figure out these complex calculations for you.

Property Damage

We will work closely with insurance adjusters and experts to ensure that damage to your vehicle or other personal property is assessed fairly and that you receive adequate compensation to cover all repairs.

Comparative Negligence

Nevada follows a rule that if you are found to be more than 50 percent at fault for the car accident, your ability to recover damages will be barred. Our lawyers will work to reduce any perceived fault on your part and maximize your compensation.
